Looks like there's beanpots full o' fun going on at Boston's Symphony Hall. Apparently, a couple of liquored-up fans got into it in the balcony of the venerable music hall during last nights performance by the Boston Pops with Musical Guest performer Ben Folds.Seems shirts were torn off, chairs were flying and ladies were screaming ... more like the cheap seats at Fenway during a Sox-Yanks series.
Groovy conductor Keith Lockhart stopped the music while the melee ensued. Both gentlemen were ejected from the game, though no charges were brought.
(Surprise! I poked an attorney in the face once, and the COPS pressed the charges!)
Sounds like it was a middle-aged hissy fit against a younger fella.
I'll give you the BAHSTON GLOBULE'S la-dee-da, pukka version,
and then the grittier BAHSTON HERALDO's in-yer-face-ya-rich-bastid line.
They definitely have the better headline.

Apparently all boston shows are the same regardless if you see the pops or death before dishonor you're gonna get your face moshed in
At least he didn't dive out of the balcony.
brilliant.
why am i never present
at these meles?
i need to stop hanging about
the Chelsea/Man. U. games.
Saw this at work and laughed very loudly. Nothing is sacred. Not even Ben Folds. I just never imagined a Ben Folds melee. Maybe a Ben Folds pissy fit. But never a melee.
who the feck is ben folds?
Ben Folds is an indie rockish kind of guy- but not rock. More indie lounge. Very toe gazy, and very mellow. Appeals to the hipsters who wear vintage suits, swill vintage drinks in expensive vintagey lounges. Suffice it to say, he's ok. If you like that sort of thing. Personally, I think he lacks a certain something- call it fire in the belly.
i don't like that sort of thing.
is he like damien rice?
'cause THAT GUY blows big time.
