A Spinal Tap skit gone horribly wrong
Criminy, what a terrible, awful tragedy transpired at the Great White show in Rhode Island.
I mean no disrespect for grieving families, but this looks like a Spinal Tap skit gone horribly wrong. The latest drummer went up in flames, and took the whole club with him. It has all the inanity of Spinal Tap. I mean, Great White, for crying out loud. What a worthless excuse for a band to start with. Their entire claim to fame is one decade old cover of what was a dumb, mediocre song to start with.
It's bad to get killed in a stupid accident. How much worse is it to get killed in a stupid accident going to see Great White? Getting killed going to see the Who was bad, but it was arguably an unforseeable situation. This is just plain ignorant. Years from now their orphans will be hunting down Great White albums. Dad got killed going to see THIS?
Having absolutely NO musical talent, they aren't going to just come out with instruments and play a damned song. Oh no, we have to set off pyrotechnic crap in some little bar. Hell, they don't have the imagination to be Spinal Tap. In fact, the Spinal Tap album has much better and more clever songs than anything from this stupid hair band.
Nearly a hundred people died for pure foolishness. People are going to prison. I find it unlikely that anything less will be considered acceptable- nor should it be.
Prediction: members of this band absolutely go to prison. They want to claim management at the club told them they could use the pyrotechnics, but that wouldn't excuse them for actually doing it even if their claim were true. They simply can't claim ignorance.
Besides which, there are now multiple other club owners coming forward to say that the band set off this crap in their venues without informing them. That would seem very likely to cover the Station owners with at least some reasonable doubt against criminal culpability. They'll be six kinds of broke from civil liability, but not likely to be convicted of felonious criminal offense.
I'm looking for a clever punch line to finish this thought, but there isn't one. This just plain sucks.
