If you spit at the band, and they tell you to stop, you should stop.
If you don't stop, and the lead singer jumps down into the crowd to beat your skull with the microphone, you get what you deserve.
If you have the gall to bitch about it, and wonder why you got your ass beat, you obviously need a second beating to get your head straight.
Luckily, and to the lead singer's credit, they didn't call off the rest of the show. CK says their set was unusually short, but it was a Sunday. Also, I stand by my previous anti-frat boy assertions. The punks in PDX know what a circle pit is, so there must be another element(a more violent/less cool element) at a flogging molly show. Push pits are the suck, and I don't see why FM would bring that out of people. It must be the result of a wider fan base that draws out the assholes, or possibly less free space that pushes the crowd into a critical asshole mass towards the center. More research needs to be done in the field of 'rock show crowd dynamics'. I am going to apply for the research grant and spend the next 12 years like Ms. Goodall among the apes, going to shows on the federal dollar.
