FB & Chris L were at the Boston Pops concert last night?

BOSTON — Concert-goers, and even Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart, were caught off-guard when a fight broke out on opening night at usually sedate Symphony Hall.

Television video of the fight Wednesday night showed two men struggling in the balcony — one with his shirt pulled off — as several people stood around them.

Lockhart briefly halted the performance, which featured singer-songwriter Ben Folds, while the men were escorted out.

Witnesses said they heard a scream from the balcony, and the sound of chairs falling, then a second scream as the fight escalated.

“The first time there was a scream, Keith looked up that way but he kept going,” audience member June MacIndoe told Boston's WHDH-TV. “Then about a minute and a half later ... there was a big scream and you could hear chairs falling over and you could see them up there, fists going.”

At that point, Lockhart stopped the performance for a couple of minutes, she said. “He just stood there, you know, quiet.”

Boston police spokesman David Estrada said police officers on security detail at the hall escorted the men off the property, and no charges were filed. No injuries were reported, he said.

And, of course, there's a video. Hard to tell who's who.

Which one had his shirt off? And do we have pictures?

A grainy video--sorta like the Zapruder film.

There'll be a Senate investigation.

Does FB recognize the authority of the Senate?

For now, yes.

You underestimate the power of Dynamic Tension!

This is what happens when you combine rock and roll with classical music.

Two men got in an argument at about 7 p.m. that became physical, culminating when one of the men had his button-down shirt ripped open. Television video showed a security guard pulling one man off of the other man.

People still wear button-down shirts?

Fight was the result of a fashion faux-pas. :)

Jr continues his obsession with me.

Jr - when you stop being bi-curious and just admit that you are a flaming homosexual?

 

[JR]

Hardly an obsession with you. Don't flatter yourself dumbass.

I find it interesting that you keep accusing me of being gay. Projection, maybe?

But given your past history of wild fantasizing over blowing Rumsfeld, I'm not surprised.

BTW, did you ever clear up your herpes problem?

 

[Yawn]

Fenian and Boston. It's like peanut butter and jelly.

The Red Sox deserve better. The Curse of the Bambino was due not to the Ruth trade, but to the political leanings of the People's Republic Thereof. They elect a Republican governor and - what do you know? A world championship and a historic comeback over their hated rivals to boot.

JR is to Evil ******* what Zeke12 is to me.

Jr - You are starting threads "about" me and your not obsessing?

I've said many times that I'd be happy on this board if we just avoided each other. But you go out of your way to follow me around and now you also start threads supposedly about me. I'll let the facts stand for themselves here. People can see your obsession. People are also going to tire of your act very quickly when your behavior does nothing but get threads locked. Threads that were very lively and full of well thought out debate before your arrival with your mouth foaming insults.

Don't deny who you are - it will just make you bitter and angry at the object of your obsession. Oh wait a minute - that's already come to pass hasn't it?
