Default Re: Well, how rude (Albany Times Union article)

I don't get this either! I was at that show, and not only did Gord sound great, the crowd loved him! They were very vocal and appreciative. Much more so than the night before in Waterbury.
Afterwards there was a lot of confusion about the backstage thing. It appears that there was some type of radio promotion, and some winner and sponsors from that got a chance for a meet and greet. There were a hanful of us that had passes, and the woman that was trying to control the crowd insinuated that she didn't know where we got those, and they might not be legit.
There was a couple of teenage boys that were quit loud and obnoxious, one claiming to be an "old friend" of Gordies. He really tried hard to push his way in, literally, and actually got to the doorway. He might have even scored a pass at one point, but I noticed that he didn't get to stay long after that. They were very obnoxious. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one that yelled something later. I'm not even sure they were at the concert!
Sad to read something like this, when someone is out there pouring his heart and soul into doing a good job for the simple pleasure of it.
