Last weekend, a bra was thrown straight into my face. When women start throwing their lingerie at you, you know you’ve really made it, right? In 25 years of doing this, I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing it maybe three or four times. Not a bad score, although it does put my superstar status into perspective.
Mostly, I just find it hilarious. Sure, it’s a little weird, but I can definitely appreciate it! Except… for that one time, about ten years ago. Because on that particular night, one bra became the starting point of a truly unfortunate chain of events.
I was playing a gig somewhere near Eindhoven and a few drunk student frat boys were throwing b**r coasters around. So I grabbed the mic and said something along the lines of: “If you’re going to throw something at me, I’d rather have a bra.”
Not long after that, I spotted a young woman taking my request VERY seriously. She half-undressed and launched her over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder in my direction. Her E-cup Hunkemöller bra smashed into two full glasses of b**r, which then proceeded to dump their entire contents all over the mixer. I desperately tried to save the situation with a cloth, but it was too late. Bam. Music gone. Equipment dead. Party over!
The club owner was furious with me. “What kind of idiot asks people to start throwing bras?” I can still hear him saying it, haha. The boyfriend of the bra thrower wasn’t too happy either. “What the hell do you want with my girlfriend’s bra?” “Well… you should probably ask HER that,” I stammered.
And just when I thought the evening couldn’t get any more ridiculous, the lingerie terrorist herself came over. I assumed she wanted to apologise for destroying the mixer.
Nope.
She wanted her bra back.
Because apparently… it was VERY expensive!?!?
