Va. Rolling Stones Concert Interrupted (VA - 10/6/05)

Oct 06 10:59 PM US/Eastern CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.

The Rolling Stones' concert at the University of Virginia was interrupted Thursday night while several police officers and three bomb-sniffing dogs searched the stage.

The show resumed after about a half-hour intermission. University, state and city police did not immediately return phone calls about the incident, and no announcement was made to the audience about the reason for the break.

About eight songs into the show, lead singer Mick Jagger announced that authorities had told them to take a break. The stage at the university's 61,000-seat Scott Stadium and about the first 20 rows of spectators were cleared until police finished their work.

Combining Norman Ok and the President's speech yesterday, the threat suddenly in NY. Much more must be up than what we know at this point.

Someone mistook Mick's oxygen bottle for a bomb.

Too bad someone can't put a bomb in Mick's fat mouth.

I heard about the concert bomb threat as I was falling asleep, it bothers me that they did not empty the stadium.

Who in the thunder decided that the bomb would be in the first 20 rows?
