Many years ago, I was sitting at a front table in a local NYC club. The artist, a VERY well known folk singer, was introduced by one of the locals. This emcee was obviously drunk and staggered to the stage to make the introduction. Someone in the audience shouted something out, and the drunk emcee glared at ME and started cursing me out. The people around me realized that I did not shout out and began laughing at the emcee - which pissed him off even further. The owner of the club motioned for the emcee to get off the stage - which he did, after mumbling a quick introduction about the singer. As you can imagine, the singer was rather uncomfortable and did not seem to know what to do. A memorable evening.
