I love this story! It cracks me up.

Just before Soul Asylum went big with their “Grave Dancers Union”, I saw the Minneapolis boys at the Boat House in Virginia Beach, for what I still believe was the best concert experience I’ve ever had. The opener was The Lemonheads…truly unbelieveable show. When that album blew up on MTV, and I saw they were coming back around, I knew I had to see them again…however, it was for an MTV sponsored festival, in which Spin Doctors were playing. As it turned out, Soul Asylum only played the “hits”…no cool covers or medleys, no interaction with the audience…it was just like they were playing along with the record…not fun at all. I was a bit disappointed leaving the venue, but on my way I ran into the lead singer from the Spin Doctors…literally. I looked at him, and his outstretched hand, and instead of shaking it, I flipped him off. I still feel pretty good about that moment…the look of hurt on his face pretty much summed up the way I felt about the whole show.
