Das Boot

The Frog and the Heckler

Some events remind me of other events, and then those events get muddled up with events from 1961 and Earnest Borgnine, and Gene Hackman. Sometimes I think I am daft... Hey don't laugh, you might be daft too!

Remember that scene in Blues Brothers when they are performing at a dive, behind a cage? Well, I remember it. All night long the Brothers worked it thinking that the beer was free to the band members. They proceed to drink four hundred dollars in beer, while their share of the door is three hundred dollars.

"I reckon you boys owe me a hundred dollars," says the establishment manager.

Das Boot is another movie, but has nothing to do with previous paragraph. It just has the German word Boot in the title, which means actually boat; neither here nor there.

What's so important is that a ticket buyer went to a Tim McGraw concert, and actually expected some kind of evening's entertainment. Instead this particular patron of the arts felt like he was imprisoned in a submarine where every sound makes him jump out of his skin. But this demon possessed fan-no-more got das boot from Tim McGraw and was ejected from the crowd.

Whose side are you on? The sod buster's, or the sod buster troubadour's?

Apparently, Tim McGraw can do no wrong, as the crowd booed the rowdy patron, and applauded McGraw's stoppage of the said concert until Security threw the bastard out.

That's not all. In a jumbo spin on Tim McGraw's fame and reputation, Def Leppard --

"They've collaborated with Tim McGraw and recently hit the stage at the CMT Music Awards with Taylor Swift - but Def Leppard want to make one thing clear: after three decades these hard-rocking Brits have not "gone country."

Guitarist Vivian Campbell says the crossover buzz is more about country acts channeling their inner rock stars."

Moral of this disharmonious entertainer news could be said: You have a one in twenty thousand chance of getting banned and booted from a Tim McGraw Concert, but a Zero out of Zero chance of buying a Def Leppard Country Album.
-- or -- any woman worth half her salt must drink the beer from the boot.

Oh, what was the heckler in the crowd doing that spurned such scorn from the McGrawster? He was snoring. As a matter of fact he was snoring so loud, a bull frog jumped up on the fella and started humping his face. Which the startled narcoleptic awoke grabbing the aromatic frog, throwing it across the aisle, hitting a mesmerized woman who fits the description of mySpacer Tasha Rednick from Rockford, IL. The unfortunate woman fell forward and smashed her face on the glass Boot of beer she was holding, making positive identification difficult.
