Rock band Kings of Leon were forced to pull the plug half way through a concert after their bass player was pooped on by pigeons. Jared Followill had been hit several times already when a particularly large splat landed on his face near his mouth. That proved too much for the rockers, who fled the stage in St Louis, Missouri just three songs into their set.

I had a bird poop on me while in the outdoor garden section of Lowe’s.

Of course, here in PA Dutch country, people think that’s a sign of good luck!

Go figure!

That has to be one of the most fitting responses to a rock concert I’ve ever read of.

God bless the birds.

LOL.

As much as I like rock music, these stars can be as nerdy and dorky as anyone alive. [Grin.]

AHHHHHH.

Even as a teen I hated it.

The literally deafening levels of sound are beyond absurd, addictive [as research shows—resulting in similar dopamine highs as drugs] and abusive.

Hey, what can I say? We St. Louisans are a tough crowd.

Teflon coated too apparently... "'No fans got pooped on as far as we know,' the band's publicist said."

Not a good run there lately. Mike Campbell of The Heartbreakers suffered from dehydration last week.

I must be resistent to that addiction. I frequently go multiple days without a single rock tune. If I have quality classical music, movie soundtrack, etc. — I’m just as happy. I appreciate the beat and intensity.

In fact, if I had a greater variety of top notch blue grass, I’d probably enjoy that even more.

The internet is an entire field of Bluegrass. Pandora Radio, online radio stations.

After seeing what happened to the two previous bands, Kings of Leon proved
not to be kings of improvisation ...
