The unfortunate, inexcusable events just a stone’s throw from the EVR studios — in which a longtime proprietor of a cookbook store was arrested after tangling with the security team supervising the endless queue for the Amex Harry Styles pop-up — have completely overshadowed a recent harrowing experience of my own.
There’s been no media coverage to date of my being physically ejected from a Godsmack show for making fun of the band’s merch table. I understand why the other story is considered newsworthy (and an egregious assault on a community pillar), but let me remind you all that Providence’s Amica Mutual Arena (fka The Dunkin’ Donuts Center, or if you prefer, “The Dunk”) is a public space built with taxpayer money. True, I’ve never paid taxes in Rhode Island, but I do own many Lightning Bolt records and that should count for something.
