You forgot the end of the story... Bash then regained his composure, and said "All right! Give it up one more time for Ed James!"

Sometimes, however, it requires a little more. A reader sends in this report from yesterday's IPO: "David Bash put on a great show at the Troubadour [last night], but had a minor, actually, pretty severe on-stage meltdown near the beginning: "He was talking to the audience about all the Audities chatter about the RRHOF and someone shouted "Shut up and introduce Ed James!" This seemed to touch a nerve with dear David. After politely explaining to the miscreant that "If this RRHOF thread continues with Audities, I will leave the list, BITCH. And NEVER POST AGAIN," he started screaming and crying and "They say I'm just pulling a Tony Perkins," and "You have NO IDEA WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH," and the O'Jays are raping the world, etc. etc." As the audience, who had previously been laughing and hawing at everything he said, stood there in uncomfortable silence."
