Uk is a different world to usa.Id be very surprised to hear irishdaves story from an american, in the uk everyone has a story about being thrown out of a nightclub drunk.Completely different cultures.Ive been thrown out of a nightclub the same way, carried out horizontally with a bouncer on each limb, no choking though.
i played drums in a funk band for a while while working in boston, before going back to vt.
our guitar player was black.
he brought us to one club, and said "go in, ill meet you in there in a few mins, gotta make a call".
we walk in, 3 white guys, place just stopped in its tracks, 100% black night-club. (like on animal house when they yell "otis my man")
he walked in cracking up a minute later at the looks on everyone's faces. introduced to everyone and everything was cool
probably he only time in life where i was close to being tossed out of a place
he was later murdered by some new friends of his (who were also black) on a large cocaine deal, sad, he was a good dude.(back of head, execution style)
