“Hey, Asshole!” Follow-Up: More Static At A TV On The Radio Show

Earlier today, we posted a story from a TV On The Radio fan who had to deal with some pushy fans at the band’s show in Columbus last night. This provoked an e-mail from another reader who had some unfortunate fauxhawked-jerk exposure while at a show by the band, which we reprint here even though–or perhaps because–its subject line uses one of our banned words:

Subject: National trend of douchebags seeing TV on the Radio

The “Hey Asshole” report of today rang true with me as I encountered a similar awful, large, asshole guy at the Providence TVOTR show last Thursday. This one was dressed in all white, with a fauxhawk, fake-looking tan, and designer glasses with garish thick white frames. I first notice him standing behind me and can only shake my head at how retarded he looks. Then there’s a push to move up, and he goes right past me and attempts to shove my (petite, blond, ten-to-fifteen-years-younger-than-him) girlfriend out of the way, with his arms and a shoulder check, so he can get ahead of her. Let me reiterate that he has at least 7 inches of height and 100 pounds on her. To her credit, she stands her ground (hip check) and sneaks ahead of him, which succeeds in making him look more like the lame asshole that he is. We move up and establish a nice new spot, only to have him come up from the side and end up in front of us. Fine, whatever, he’s a few feet ahead, and now I have a great view of his ridiculous rhythmic shoulder dance and associated gorilla arms dance, which I imagine would go over great at a rave (I’ve never been to a fucking rave).

Sadly there’s no confrontation to tell you about, but why the hell are these guys so AMPED for TV on the Radio?

We’re stumped, to be honest. So if you have any ideas, or more stories to add to our growing dossier, by all means let us know. Only together can we rise up against boorish behavior by those with fake tans and “Dick In A Box” beards.
