GUNNAR Chin Saturday 19. June 2004 857:, up-to-date 1355:
FROGNERBADET (Dagbladet):

It was apparent also this as was absorbing Bowie, as he at her at fury called towards gjerningspersonen:
- Jeg has only a eye, din jævla fool. As good luck would have it hit you facts correct!
hit accurately
A appalled Bowie became standing and wring her in ache more minutes, as he called they worst ukvemsordene in facts english languages, towards it stranger gjerningspersonen.For although the touch became executed along with a affection, became facts barely executed along with affection.
Discarded stayed saw badly that conviction be bound to have been to catch. And adopt stayed terrifying accurately:
Toggle drill her in between øyet and øyelokket.
So experienced Dagbladet it dramatic the episode, as happened as David Bowie stayed in completed along with to bring to an end tredjelåta «Battle» and bandmedlemmene already preparing fourth låt, «Cactus»:
Buing and squeak
Abrupt heave Bowie at, entire overkroppen vris against right, he krøker her comparison and aborting låta, has neither innings to do it completed.
Facts becomes successively apparent, for all 7000 fans as has fylt Frognerbadet, that any am awfully amiss. Along with back against audience dither Bowie towards sceneutgangen. A man at Bowies management comes runs away at asterisk. It looks like concert am above.
Audience start to arc and pipe in abhor above what am happened.
Man at managementet becomes standing and analyzed øyet at Bowie. Saw discern facts out at that he set one's mind on, grasping grip in object and going it edged. Popikonet heave at at ache.
Faithless in glance peep management- man it røde affection down at toggle, as Bowie slow turns her against audience.
Etterhvert the movement he her against scenekanten afresh. He grasping mikrophone, pains and fury disconnect a tirade at the cursing and ukvemsord:
- You f#$#$&*ing wanker! You liten f#$&*er! am only a couple of at expressions Bowie snerrer forward towards area as affection be bound to have been discarded at. This am beginning at a minuttlang tirade along with abuse. Saw say Bowie abrupt:
- Å, saw you creep you away in amount, your jævla a little pig. But I do be about hit you.
Bowie start to adopt above her consequences of what as be able have happened:
- Jeg has only a eye, know you. Din jævla fool. As good luck would have it hit you facts vonde øyet. You have only done in continueous additional decorative than it was.
here( able facts ascribe that Bowie, in an slåsskamp in skolegården as 13-åring, getting facts left øyet part blasted. He sloss along with kompisen Stamp Underwood, as Stamp ring raspet up øyet.)
Bowie comes her etterhvert, he shout, always at gjerningspersonen as he continued no matter know who's out there in amount:
- Hold affected din for you sjøl. This add up to only én gear, facts, a little pig. That we be bound to augment concert and do it anymore!
Facts stream hot exultation at fansen and be up to scene. Bowie shall get rat at the nuisance. He declines to calm down!
- Men now do be about I act a låt at Pixies in lieu of it I owned reflected. It is the penalty din. It has you was earning, you f#$&*%er!, snerrer Bowie at typically show.
Saw going he låta afoot.
And am not winding a prior dates back to concurrent seinere.
Ingen in Bowies management, or people at plateselskapet Sony, savage yesterday evening annotate the episode. As Dagbladet stepped in heavy stayed continued neither grabbed for the episode.
Yep, the left one. Ouch.
I'm with you. Stuff like this has never amused me, since I was brought up to put myself in the other person's shoes before I did anything stupid. Would I want that done to me? And, how would I feel if it did happen to me. Sometimes I curse my parents for instilling a conscience in me. There's been plenty of times I would have loved to do malicious things, but I could never bring myself to do them.
No kidding... There was a Ted Nugent concert here in KC many years ago, where someone threw a big ball bearing or pinball machine ball at Ted, and broke his tooth.
What the heck is going through these peoples' heads when they do that sort of thing?
Mark
For eff's sake how big is the pic? I'm on DSL and the friggin' thing was still loading after I finished stumbling thru that horrid Babelfish translation.
I'm ashamed of myself - I laughed through the whole thing. eep
David was warned by ABBA that Scandanavian crowds can be unruly.
Let me guess: "I Bleed..."?
"Broken Face"?
"Gouge Away"?
"Into the White"?
"Alec Eiffel"? (Pronounced "A Lick Eyeful")
Why of why did I click on that link?
And yes, I was warned.
"A Queer Eye for the 'Pop'-fly" ?
Is this why so many performers wear sun glasses 24/7 ?
My sentiments exactly!
LOL..LOOOOOOOOOVE BABBLEFISH
Thanks, now my ribs hurt.
Ok, Just as soon as I am done laughing, I'm gonna seriously consider getting some professional help.
I dont' find the incident itself funny, but the Babelfish thing was great.
I find Babelfish's use of the female pronoun "her" in connection with Bowie to be particularly interesting.
Too funny? What's the matter with you? You could put your eye out!
In this case however, believe it or not, it was an accident. A girl was standing very close to the stage holding a lollypop with arm up and was hit hard on the upraised arm from behind knocking it downward and causing the lollypop to fly into his eye. The Norwegian press had actual aritists rendering of the happening.
Talk about bad luck, or a really bad excuse...
