I was at the New Bedford concert and came away with thought that Gordon couldn't have handled himself better. He had so many options like getting angry, telling her to take her seat, refusing to sign her paper, calling for security, asking the bandsmen to remove her, leaving the stage, losing his focus, discussing the matter on stage, any and all of which would have escalated the situation and ruined the flow of the performance. Gordon demonstrated a controlled ego, vast experience and probably a deeply felt belief that even his most annoying fans are nonviolent. She actually did make bodily contact with him, had her arms wrapped around him, and nobody did anything to resolve the situation. Except Gordon. True to his philosophy of not ruffling any feathers, staying on message, living with peace and tolerance of all kinds.
