Admittedly, when I really like an artist, I can become a fanboy to the point of obsessiveness, scouring the net for b-sides, rarities, and demos, frequenting fan messageboards, and attending every one of their shows in the tri-state area. But even I have my limits. On the list of things that I would not do, no matter how much I liked someone’s music, I’d say Tweaking My Nipples At A Live Show is right up there with Naked Stage Diving and Giant Forehead Tattoo:
Now what I’m wondering is, was this an act of uncontrollable spontaneous emotion brought on by the power of Melissa Young’s music, or did this guy have some sort of weird nipple fetish to begin with, and he just sensed that this was the proper time to whip ‘em out and scour the radio dial, if you will? I think it really comes down to, who was he at the concert with? Because if he were there alone, BOOM, he’s a serial tweaker, and he’s struck again. But if he were there with friends, there’s no way his knob-twisting was premeditated; his friends would already be aware of his penchant for tweaking, and tell him to knock that shit off. That’s what good friends do, they keep your fingers away from your nipples.
