I just remembered an opening act for Saga in Toronto a few years ago. They were some punk band which was a bad choice to begin with, but anyways. Half way through a song, the lead singer hocked up some phlegm and spit it across the stage.... instead of hitting the floor though, it landed on the bass players arm. We're all in the audience thinking 'eeeewwww gross'.... next thing you know the bass player reaches down and licks the snot ball right off his arm and swallows it.
That was about when the crowd lost it and started booing them and chanting "SAGA SAGA SAGA".....
I guess the moral here is if you're a punk band with no talent, never open up for a band with real musical talent like Saga... and if you're gonna spit... well just don't.
