Ongoing History Daily: Weird concert happenings

You don’t need me to tell you that freaky things can happen at concerts.  May I offer two examples?

In 2004, a Norwegian couple stormed the stage during a festival, stripped down to nothing and began to have sex right in front of everyone.  Tommy Haol Ellingsen and his Leona Johansson are part of an environmental group called F*** for Forest.  They raise money by sponsoring public displays of sex–and last I heard, they were able to raise over $25,000.  The rainforest thanks them.

On the death side of the ledger, we have this: on July 27, 1986, a man jumped up on stage at a Cure show in Los Angeles without his girlfriend, who, by the way, had just dumped him.  He then started stabbing himself–for real-with a big knife in some weird gesture of hari-kari.  The weird thing was that the crowd thought it was part of the show and gave him a big cheer.
