"Vote for Change" Band Thrown Off Stage After Drummer Strips and Sets Thong On Fire
Detroit Free Press | 10/01/04

Posted on 10/01/2004 5:36:47 AM PDT by harrycarey

The band Treephort "wore out its welcome" in Flint, Michigan after the drummer set fire to his thong and ran around the stage naked.

Then the bass player stripped and joined his bandmate in a naked romp around the stage.

The band is known for dousing their thongs with hairspray and setting them on fire at their concerts.

They don't think they are a fire risk. "We are professionals. We know what we are doing."

You know, seeing guys run naked on stage with flaming underware usually makes me think of the cause of the Democratic party...... He's certainly is employing nothing but the highest caliber folks to get out the message.

Americans should observe their behavior, learn who these individuals are voting for and then decide if they want to vote the same way.

LOL!! Really though --- their kind of audience wouldn't be any big loss if trapped inside a burning building. I'd say let them do their fire throwing acts but don't bother to inspect the club's building for safety.

I wondered about that. But then, given the picture, I really didn't mind. Thanks!
