altercations:
2/16/93 l.a. - the stage at jabberjaw is so tiny, i can't help but get in pete's way. i unplug him twice. he gets pissed off.
3/25/93 oberlin - jody's sister set up the show, but the p.a. didn't work and when our soundwoman leslie chided her, jody goes, "where do you get off talking to my sister like that?" then always chivalrous pete comes to soundwoman's defense and matters escalate to the point where pete and jody do not speak for the rest of the tour.
9/19 lincoln - all in a spirit of good fun, members of the mieces egged on by pete throw smokebombs at macho burly god & texas during the latter's set. they become enraged and stop playing and start remonstrating, but rather than conciliating, one of the mieces proceeds to break a beer bottle over the head of god & texas' henry rollins-type singer, while all hell is breaking loose, hazel runs interference and helps the mieces load out and somehow escape, leaving hazel to the unkind ministrations of the large drunk and irate rockers, but just at that moment, one of the latter spots hazel on an overhead monitor - mtv is playing our video! saving the day, for god & texas are thrilled for us and for their own proximity to commercial success - hugs all around.
2/14/94 victoria - we arranged to borrow shutdown's drum kit so we wouldn't have to smuggle ours in to canada, but their drummer had written the words "tits", "bum", and "cunt" on his drum-heads with a magic marker - i think crude drawings of same as well, and when jody saw this on the drums she was scheduled to play, she went a little - ok, a lot - ballistic. she told off the audience for good measure and we played our shortest and sloppiest set ever, and argued about what we might have done differently all the way back to portland.
2/21 portland - a week later, on a cramped stage, and for a small and so-so audience, tempers snapped. pete announced to no one in particular, "this is our last show."
9/3 seattle - it's the bumbershoot festival. we have about 3,000 kids and thousands more outside who can't get in. before the show, i'm making my way through the crowd when i'm stopped by a young fan who goes, "oh fred, please please please can i come up and dance on stage with you?" i say, sure, and get her to tell me her name - siobhan - and accompany me up to the stage where a security guy in a folding chair is controlling access, and introduce her to him and ask him to let her through about four songs into our set. then i completely forget about this.
our set is starting and i've misplaced my water pitcher, a crucial necessity, but note a long-forgotten 3/4 empty half-gallon popcorn tub on a table backstage and quickly invert it to leave a neat heap, when some security dude rushes up behind me and yells, "who the fuck told you to make a mess back here?" ok, so i sweep it back into the tub and dump it in a nearby garbage can, then hit the stage and empty a couple of quarts of bottled water into the now-empty tub for future use. but i can feel this guy's eyes on my back - it's unsettling to be yelled at just as you're going on - and he's strutting around like he's head of security (there's a dozen more beefy specimens between the mosh-barrier and the front of the stage), so rather than wait til later in the set as is my wont, i go straight to my kit and put on the dress, morally certain that this will annoy the heck out of this asshole. sure enough, he's watching me like a hawk, and over the next few songs does things like stand ostentatiously in front of the sound-board in case i were to decide to crash into it. though not so as you would notice, jody has followed every move in this little chess game, and halfway through the show decides to tip the balance. between songs, she asks anyone who would like to dance with us to come on up onstage and cut loose.
now, the security dude in the folding chair is all the way the other side of the stage from my antagonist, and has been primed by me and received no instructions to the contrary, so before you know it we've got 30 or 40 kids gyrating like mad all over the stage, the entire security crew looks bewildered, and my guy looks apoplectic. ok, so it goes on this way for about three songs, it's quite fabulous for all concerned - at one point i spot a pair of teens lounging serenely behind jody's drum kit, gazing into each others' eyes in total bliss - when, with no notice whatever, all 15 of the big security guys are swarming the stage and brutally dragging all the dancers off. our momentum is now at maximum and all we know to do is play on, but i can't help but notice that any of the beefy-boys who chances to pass near jody gets a thundering whack with a drumstick - and i don't need to tell you she doesn't miss a beat in the process.
alright. the band is playing hell-for-leather, i take my tub of water, add another quart of bottled so it's nice and full, and start lurching around the stage, sloshing enough out to make little puddles to slip in (this is not just to annoy - it brings on the jamesbrown shit, the jerrylewis shtick). the only thing mr. asshole can think to do, under the pretext of protecting the fancy equipment, is stride to the front of the stage and turn all of our monitors upside-down (they're the wedge-shaped speakers in front that point backwards so the musicians can hear what they're playing). like that is going to faze us at this point. i jump up on the top edge of the middle monitor and sway there precariously, settling my water-tub, now only 3/4 full, to balance on my head. am i in the zone or what? i can feel his heavy footsteps approaching from behind and get nicely relaxed for when he violently wrenches me backwards by my shirt - i guess now we know how concerned he was not to get the monitors wet. in my peripheral vision i can see a beautiful silver arc of water launch into the air, and even though he is dragging me backwards and down, the blindingly obvious thing to do is rescue my falling - and now empty - popcorn tub and position it so that it perfectly intercepts the falling cascade of shimmering liquid, spilling - really - barely a drop. crowd goes berzerk.
but in seconds, i've been dragged to the back and propelled down the steps at the side of the stage in the direction of an outside door, like a school door, whose horizontal bar i start to push open - no reason to remain in the building - when my dude can't help but get a last lick in, and kicks me hard in the small of the back, explosively projecting me out into the cool night air and the huge milling crowd of fairgoers and excluded hazel fans, not a few of whom are surprised - and yet some somehow not - to see me so propulsively appear in their midst. i'm beginning to catch my breath when from within the exhibit hall comes an indistinct rumble. it gathers coherence, and begins to sound like, "fre-ed........fre-ed........fre-ed." and then now here's pete and brady and jody, come out to find me - i hadn't heard them stop playing. and now the chant has changed. it seems to be saying, "bull........shit........bull........shit." and now here are some official-looking men in suits approaching. they're asking us to come back and finish, but i demur, saying that that guy would never let us. the men seem kind of urgent, and the rumble from within seems to be incrementally swelling. "oh - he won't be bothering you anymore," they insist, so we go back in to be greeted by the wildest of tumults, note the looks of naked fear receding from the faces of our phalanx of unnecessary and incompetent "security", and finish out our set in suitably ass-kicking meltdown.
as i'm packing up my gear afterwards, three different men in suits, apparently representing three strata of authority, one-by-one approach and sincerely apologize. then my guy comes up and apologizes too. undoubtedly under orders, and sheerly to avoid litigation, but that's ok, it is nevertheless exquisite.
(i wondered at the timely appearance of the suits - kind of unprecedented - but was soon to learn that the second the man laid hands on me, both my sister and brady's brother - who don't know each other - cut fast through the crowd and up to the stage. lawyers they are.)
3/13/95 grand rapids - i am too fatigued and squirrely to play the show, but rather than consent to drop me off and meet me in detroit, my bandmates throw a collective snit and i just ditch them anyway.
3/18 providence - pete approaches me before our set and says, "fred, you know how I've always asked you to make a special effort not to invade my space during the show?" "uh-huh" "well, I've been thinking about it a lot and I've decided that i trust you now - it's been 4 years - so, like, go ahead and feel free from now on. go for it - i can deal." joyous day! i'm speechless with gratitude to have earned his hard-won trust. in the event, while he's singing i gently remove his hat. He immediately stops the song and angrily demands that I return it. was I set up or what? to make things worse, and compound my wounded self-disgust, when backstage after the set Pete comes up to apologize, I completely lose it and tear him a new asshole in front of all our tour-mates, frozen in mid-conversation, so now it's pete everyone feels sorry for.
4/1 st. petersburg - pete is adamant that i should shoulder more than my share of transport costs so i shriek hysterically at him. the next night, in orlando, right before going on, we reconcile.
4/7/97 (two) anaheim - the stage is the size of a postage stamp, so i'm climbing up on something and accidently pop a crumbling acoustic panel out of the false ceiling. i immediately replace it, but the owner/bartender leaps over the bar and starts threatening me - it's obvious that what really bugs him is my beautiful dress. the set ends prematurely and in disarray.
the next morning, jody asks, "should we keep this room for tonight, or get another one closer to the club?" i give a brief defense of one alternative - i forget now which it was - so jody hurls a bunch of her standard abuse at me, but i decide not to have any and get right in her face and give her what for, punctuating my words with little blows to the telephone on her bed with the bungee cord that happens to be in my hand. each time it hits, the phone gives a very satisfying little ding!
6/21 rome - two-thirds of the way through our set, two drunk men directly in front are harassing jody with increasingly hostile shouts, looks, and gestures, so she stops playing and calls through her mic for security to come take them out. 2000 boys are waiting. lots of cat-calls, no response from the forte authorities. so she goes, "would some macho lesbians - we know you're out there! - would some macho lesbians please come up here and remove these fucking drunken assholes?" and i swear it is not 5 seconds before a couple of calm buff-looking women are at the scene and commencing to instruct the trouble-makers. of course now, "real" security guys arrive, and amid some yelling escort the jerks out.
