Subject: RE: Anthology of heckler putdowns
Not about heckling exactly, but one that I remember still, although it happened about 20 years ago:
The light had been dimmed and the McCalmans had just started with the opening chords of the first song in the second set, when two stragglers, young girls, started making their way past some 15 pairs of knees to get to their seats in the middle of the second row. Not a word was said from the stage, but the Macs "looped" the opening chords, playing them over and over again, while three pairs of eyes followed the two unfortunates from the stage all the way to their seats, heads turning in unison to mark their progress. This took a while, and by the time they reached their seats, every eye in the audience was looking their way. Once the two were safely parked, the Macs effortlessly picked up where they'd left off, and spontaneous applause broke out.
