The London Review Bookshop was intrigued to discover that they were one of the dates for an upcoming tour by Rage Against the Machine. It was an obvious mistake, but it also kind of made people think about the logistics of having a Rage concert in a bookstore.

It's hard to describe the kind of group panic that can happen when thousands of people at an event or show see something incredibly awkward or unexpected happening, but it sure is an interesting feeling to see a crowd pull a big u-turn. Sometimes bands actually plan on it, like this band's revenge for people who yelled "Freebird" but most of the time it becomes a monumental failure.

Anyone who's been to a few concerts has experienced that sinking feeling when they realize, "oh, god, these guys are not good live" and then you just have to bear through their set feeling different and realizing you spent too much money on a stupid thing. Sometimes it's not even the performance. Sometimes the artist just has no respect for their fans, or spends 30 minutes talking about conspiracy theories.
This guy pivoted hard off a fresh friend zone situation with his crush. That's no easy business, getting all worked up to take the person you like to a concert, and then after inviting them along, you find out that the romantic interests are one-sided. Pretty brutal no matter how you slice and dice it.
That being said, he went ahead and asked Redditors whether or not he was a jerk for offering the concert ticket to someone else. The verdict would seem to be a solid, you are NOT the asshole.

David Spargo apparently really wanted to meet the band "Peking Duk," so much so that he was willing to poorly edit the band's Wikipedia entry in order to convince a security guy he belonged backstage. Lucky for him, it worked.
The ill-placed and poorly formatted "Family David Spargo" was legit enough to dupe a surprisingly gullible security guard into letting David past him, where he introduced himself to the band:
"We ended up having a bunch of beers with him and he was an absolute legend. He wasn’t a creep or anything. He was like the most normal dude we’ve ever met. That’s what makes it more hilarious."
Was it worth it? Absolutely.
Would it work a second time? Probably not.

Things got a bit crazy at Katy Perry's 'Rock in Rio' concert.
The star invited up to the stage a very excited woman named Rayane who proceeded to kiss Katy's neck, nuzzle her b00bs and slap her on the butt.
Rayane, or "Rairairairai" as Katy called her, did give some very valuable Portuguese lessons though.
Pizza is apparently the same in English as Portuguese. Pizza brings everyone together.

First things first, click the image above to witness for yourself the uncensored glory of Lenny Kravitz's junk.
Kravitz was performing at a theme park in Sweden on Monday night when his little Kravitz decided to jump out and greet the world.
"The producer stepped up and said that they had 'some problems on stage'. A bit later Kravitz came out wearing other trousers. He said 'sorry, I ripped my trousers'," a member of the audience, named only as Sara, told the Expressen tabloid after the show.
A concertgoer captured this splendid occurrence and presented Lenny's tallywacker to the Internet.
This is truly a monumental day in willy history.
