I saw Jesus Lizard at Lollapalooza in L.A. in, I think, '94.

Halfway through the set, David Yow jumps into the audience, runs up to this very overweight woman who's seated about ten rows back, and just... sits on her. He straddles her like he's mounting a horse and then he's singing right in her face.

He stayed there for the next two songs.

It was pretty much the best thing ever.

Holy fuck! I was there!! Not only that, but I have photos of the whole thing. The poor woman is crying the entire time. This happened mere seconds after Yow used my teenage skull as a stepping-stone to leap off the stage.

He was wearing cowboy boots.

Whoa! That's awesome!

I wasn't close enough to see the tears; though I'm really not surprised. Dude is terrifying.

1993 Milwaukee Wisconisn. I saw Yow perform almost three songs with a female midget on his shoulders, until he finally threw her into the crowd.
