Heavy Metal mayhem @ the Tonys - Brett Michaels gets dropped

Spokes reps for the Tonys are already explaining that Brett Michaels missed his mark. Those damned sludgers don't know how to work with pro theater people - they're as bad as movie stars. Now really that sounds a lot like "Don't blame us cause we didn't do it" and a defensive position for a potential law suit. If Michaels' nose is broken it could completely screw up his vocals and end his metal career. With a bent beak and a warped warble the only thing left would be country music! So you see how it could be the basis for a law suit. Personally I think the Tony Awards committee did it - they gotta generate interest in Broadway somehow! I hear they're planning to maim Jeremey Piven at next year's ceremonies!


Then again maybe this sort of hooliganism is just trickling down - Reaganomically - to the mid brow from the high brow. Hopefully by the time it reaches the low brow it will be too diluted to make much difference - just like actual Reaganomics! By then, with most of it's force spent, that upper class aggression will have to find lower class expression in the form of dirty jokes and naughty songs that are peppered with vulgarities!



PS. If you think I'm being facetious - then try thinking of the past 8 years as an example of the trickle down theory of aggression. In fact most wars might be described as cases of upper class aggression infecting the lower classes!


Upper Classes = war, social suppression

Middle Class = malice, schadenfreude, competition, 'edgy' movies, heated political debate

Lower Classes = vulgar jokes & songs, pseudo violent spectacle ie pro wrestling & FOX News
