Black: "Take care, you little pricks!"

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on June 25th, 2007

Lewis Black, at a press conference in anticipation of his appearance at the Bonnaroo Festvial in TN last weekend, confessed his admiration for many of the acts and expressed a desire to open for some of them, particularly Gov’t Mule. He apparently arranged to “interrupt” a midnight performance by the group, mounting the stage and mock complaining about an instrumental piece’s lack of words.

Apparently, someone in attendance just doesn’t like standup comics in general or Black in particular as a pair of YouTube videos shows Black getting zinged in the side of the head with an unidentified object. The videos are each shorter than two minutes.

Click here is video from closer to the stage and here is from the back of the “house.” (Listen to the drunk nitwit who says, “Kick his ass, Warren!” (referring to Gov’t Mule’s lead vocalist/guitarist Warren Haynes) The video from the back has better sound, but the close-up one has a better shot of the object hitting Black in the head.

Black goes off on the tosser and signs off by saying, “You’re lucky to be here tonight, you’re in the presence of God. Take care, you little pricks!”
