I like your comment (as always!), but WE haven't reached bottom. It isn't WE.
I am not surprised by this, as I have heard these stories for at least 10 years, from performing musician friends and concert-goers.
This is common in America.

But the audience kept on listening as it was a concert. And he seemed sooooo uncomfortable - he planned to play the second part
some smooth chord-melody and what not. And was so worried that it wasn't what people were there for...
But it was fine actually. Not a single complaint

I read an account by someone who claimed to be sitting behind the pair in question, and he said it was more a case of an extremely drunk couple noisily fighting with each other throughout the night rather than anything directed towards Pat. They were apparently incoherent, staggering, and reeked of alcohol.
In that context, the shove as they were escorted out makes more sense.

It's unpleasant and bothersome when such situations arise, but security is supposedly there to quickly intervene when they do, so what were they doing? Not their job, apparently.
BTW, Free bird? I've seen that song title mentioned many times over the years, so I just (consciously) heard part of it for the first time, fact. It has 17M views on YT, which is about all I can say. If you get a request to play it, here is a suggestion:

Right, Brits abroad, can't beat'em.
Thank goodness Jude Bellingham is doing a single-handed PR job to balance things out somewhat, and that's coming from a Barça supporter.

TBF Pat heckled Kenny in the form of an article. My boy G has the guts to face him in person!
WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY INTONATION M************??????

I love Metheny, but really, what has he contributed to society as a whole? Kenny G, on the other hand, has taken his wealth and success and put it to good use, serving mankind in a way that only he is able….
