Concert fan etiquette...
Okay, so you paid $350 for a front row ticket to see your favorite singer. Does that give you the right to throw things on stage in an attempt to hit them?Stories pop up weekly about things like this happening all around the world and It's getting worse. I used to think it faded away in the 70's with Rolling Stones concerts hired the Hell's Angels to do security.
One bizarre story was a (not too famous) group who played a small night club where the fans (loose word to describe the patrons) used spoons to heat pennies on the table candles. They would flick them to the band members onstage. A hot penny striking it's target and landing on your skin would cause 2nd degree burns. Now, that's paying your dues!
Maybe the best 'rough crowd' was from the movie The Blues Brothers where they had chicken wire between the stage and audience!

row to throw things at the band if that was my intent.
But, having been one of the people in the band before, I wouldn't ever throw things at the stage.
