I saw Ann Wilson of Heart get beaned by a water bottle thrown from the audience. I saw the pianist from Jethro Tull get punched in the face by some loon from the crowd during the opening chords of Locomotive Breath.

To be honest... those events struck me pretty much the same way as a lot of "preaching" I've been privileged to sit through.

Yeah, but the dousing from Ozzy was much appreciated by the audience. It was a hot day in San Antonio.

I was never really a big Ozzy fan after he left Black Sabbath and Tommy Iommi. All of the "Ozzy" stuff came out during my time of monastic seclusion which lasted from the late '70s until about 1998.

By then I felt I was "too old" to rock and roll and too young to die. That is a very melancholy state and no amount of pulpit cheer leading or rock star bravado was going to to help.

I remember when they tried those crowd misters for the first time in Boulder. This was hippie-ville akin to Berkley or San Fran. Can't seem to remember which concert it was. Maybe the Heart/Ted Nugent one or maybe what's his name Frampton. All the girls wanted to go see Frampton. Lame.

Frampton was like so many Pentecostal preachers. "Do you feel like I do...???"

"Do you feel like I do? C'mon! Do you feel like I do...???"

He wouldn't move past that part of the song until he got a big enough reaction from the crowd. I could never help but have flashbacks to that concert while I was sitting in a Pentecostal meeting and the preacher started acting the same way.

... "No dude. I don't feel like you do."

But then again, I don't necessarily have to feel like you do to receive instruction and edification from the Word of God. How about if you reasoned with me? How about if you educated me in some important issues concerning my life and walk?

Sink a "hook" into my mind and imagination and you'll have my attention more surely than if you were strutting about like a mad man.

Too hard.
