Keith Richards Attacks Crazed Fan With His Guitar
My Uncle Jimmy saw the dinosaurs of rock when they still ruled the earth. He saw Sabbath in the gym at William and Mary, Hendrix at a now-defunct venue in Virginia Beach and Zeppelin twice: once at William and Mary, and again at the Hampton Coliseum. He's told me many times of the Stones show at Hampton Coliseum in 1981 -- how a fan bumrushed the stage to try and grab Keith Richards' sweaty, discarded vest and Keith unplugged his guitar, bashed the fan several times with his axe, then plugged back in and kept right on rocking.
I always thought it was a kind of tall tale, until today. Here's video evidence:
I was never there for it, but I still miss rock 'n roll.
Here's the band in 1971, performing Dead Flowers, my current favorite Stones tune.

Hmmm -- it works fine for me on Firefox and AOL... and NOTHING freaking works on AOL usually. Give it a crack again tomorrow and see. Or send me an email and I'll send you links or something directly.
I didn't see any unplugging or plugging in.
