Lewis Black was nearly smashed by a malfunctioning backdrop curtain at the State Theatre last night. He exclaimed, "What the fuck is that?" in response to a grinding noise; and down came the backdrop, an obvious sign from somebody's god that he was in serious trouble. A shaved-headed guy raced across the stage and dragged Black to the rear of the stage before he was struck in the head. Black said that he thought he was being attacked by a guy from "The Hills Have Eyes," only slightly better looking.
It happened during his rant about Christmas, but my feeling is that the golf gods were none too thrilled with his rant about the stupidity of golfers -- Black is a golfer, by the way.
It was a great time; and, Robin, we heard all about you and how you perform from [your boyfriend] [your husband][some guy] (pick one), who sat in front of us downing one Bud Light after another.

Not my fault. They taught it at 8 o'clock in the morning. And there is absolutely nothing you can learn out of one bloodshot eye.”
Truer words, my friend....
