Try 20 years ago, as I recall. I think it was the piss-you-in-the-face
tour he did for "Armed Forces" back in 1979. He was doing everything he
could think of to be an asshole on that tour, including playing a 45
minute set from start to finish for which people had paid $15 or $20.
Just reveling in that rock n roll feeling of which we're all so enamored.
There were a lot of people who were with Bonnie in spirit when she punched
him.
