My nominee for the Hall of Butthead award this go-round was the drunken
large "gentleman" a couple of seats to my left (in Tampa, I believe) who
started yelling "Bellbo-oy! Bellbo-oy! Bellbo-oy!" as soon as "The Real
Me" ended.
Runner-up goes to the drunken (anyone see a pattern here?) young lady who
screamed as if being murdered through much of the Va Beach show, then
started yelling in her now-shredded, hoarse voice, "Booooo-ris", with
ever-increasing tones of urgency, as if her life depended on hearing this
song, in between the encore songs. When it got irritating enough I made
the possibly unwise decision to try to shut her up so I turned around -- I
saw a bleary (did I mention drunken?) sweaty overweight young damsel with
her mascara running; I told her "They're not going to play Boris." and
turned back around. She promptly started swatting me angrily on the back,
I suppose for having the effrontery to suggest such a thing.
