Moby got the shit kicked out of him. Fess up... I know some of you guys were involved.
And NO, I don't visit his site, somebody just told me this happened.
From Moby.com
brief update... we played a concert tonight at a small club in boston, the paradise club. and after the show i went outside to get into my car. and there werea few people waiting for autographs, so as usual i stopped to sign a few things.
and then all of a sudden i was attacked by (i believe) 3 men with mace.
they punched me from behind and i really had no idea what was going on.
i assumed that a bar-fight had spilled out of the bar and that somehow i had gotten caught in the middle of it.
but no. after being punched in the head from behind a few times i turned around to see what was going on and one of them punched me in the face a couple of times and then they all ran away.
so now i'm sitting here bloody and beaten up and waiting to file a police report.
the assault could've been a lot worse. but i'm very curious as to why 3 men would coordinate an attack on me? you know, 3 against 1? and the'one' in question is me, hardly the most physically threatening person in the world. so if one or more of the people who attacked me tonight happen to be reading this, i'd be really curious to know why you attacked me.
you could anonymously sign on to the boards and describe the attack from your perspective. i'm honestly very curious.
and if anyone sees me in the next couple of weeks and i have some big bruises or stitches on my face, well at least you know why.
thanks. moby

YAY!!!!!!!! techno strikes back! i'd feel bad for him if he were on his way to an ecologically friendly vehicle, but a car? fucking hypocrite (read his essays). he got what he had coming from thousands of pissed off fans and fellow musicians.

and to the nice people who were standing in the rain outside of the paradise club, please don't let the fact that i was attacked ruin your night. i'm not badly hurt. really. just some bruisesand cuts. so please don't worry about me, ok?it was a really great night apart from the ending, so please don't be upset on my behalf, cos i'm fine. just beaten up.
it's happened before, actually. when i was working at the beat (a nightclub that used to be in port chester, new york) i ended up getting punched a few times. usually by belligerent drunks who were punching anything that moved. there was this one time in particular where i was working and a bar-fight started. i stepped out of my dj booth and this giant preppy guy just smashed me in the face with his fist. i fell down and he looked at me like he was going to hit me again but then the police showed up and dragged him and hisdrunken preppy friend to the police station.
i went down to the station to file a report and these two huge football-playing preppy guys who had attacked me were sitting in the police station crying and saying that they hadn't done anything. when the police had actually SEEN them hit me and some other people. the preppy bullies said that the bar staff (me included) had started the fight. the bar staff consisted of a female bartender who weighed 100 pounds soaking wet, me, and a doorman who was asleep.
but i digress. regarding the 3 guys who attacked me tonight, i'm not angry. i don't feel vindictive. not to sound weird or wimpy, but i'm a pacifist and i believe in forgiveness. i just hope that at some point in these guy's lives they come to realize that hurting other people is wrong.
and i'm left very confused as to why these guys wanted to attack me in the first place. maybe they don't like skinny bald guys who play coversongs? i'm sure that's it. it's my fault, i should've posted a warning on the entrance to the club, 'warning: tonights show will at time be comprised of cover songs poorly played by moby, a skinny bald musi

a skinny bald musician.' then they would've known and they could've avoided our performance and all of this trouble never would've happened.
see, we're all a little bit wiser now, aren't we.it's like 'the lion king', we laughed, we cried, we ran the gamut of emotions.
goodnight again. moby

i liked cex's idea (which he didn't use) of making t-shirts for himself and his tour mates reading "thanks for nothing, moby."
seriously, moby's last few years of notoriety have done nothing but spoil sincere electronic music. not only does it mean electronica artists have to go pop to get played on the radio or sell albums, everyone seems to think moby is the epitome of techno, which really adds insult to injury!

there's no excusing that at all. Titsworth, just because you don't like Moby's music, doesn't mean it's okay to laugh about someone being attacked. I'm sure you'd be laughing if three fucking morons attacked you from behind like that.
Do you try hard to come across as an arsehole?

"Titsworth, just because you don't like Moby's music, doesn't

i'm a pacifist as well; when i say moby had it coming, besides being comical i am being metaphorical: moby deserves some consequences for his actions. literally being attacked isn't a consequence i truly condone, but i don't feel too sorry for him either. people get jumped everyday in the real world.

ok
if anyone i or any of my mates knew and disliked got attacked but not seriously hurt, we'd laugh, not for long but we'd laugh. I just don't see why it should be any different for some guy on the other side of the world who has subjected us to some pretty fucking hideous music over the years.
If i or any of my mates got hurt of course i wouldn't laugh, that's a stupid question.

I find it amusing that he got his ass kicked but I admire the mature way he's handlng it. If it were me I'd want revenge. But I guess it's hard to wage war when you look like him, it's best to just lick your wounds and move on.

the mature way to handle it would be NOT to make a spectacle out of it. moby thrives on attention from the public, the media, and his fans. he's a really needy person. read any of his updates on his site; he's a wimp and totally panders for sympathy.

i agree with everything titsworth has said. i don't condone beating up anyone, but moby seems to love the attention he gets from the public. hes smug and he tries to come across as modest. i'm sure hes actually a good guy, but i'm not mad this happened.

Moby sucks, but I wouldn't wish an ass kicking on him. He's harmless... and that includes physically. So for 3 guys to jump him, erm... that's low. I would have rathered they robbed him of all his demo tracks so his next album will be delayed, or just gave him a wedgie/noogie/wet willy.

I don't care about what Moby has done to "techno". It doesn't affect me, really, I'm not trying to get on top of the pops or anything, anjd as far as I'm concerned he's a good bloke who makes music I don't like.
I don't liek his music at all (sometimes it seems as if he rips off a hook from an old song and puts a samples drumbeat over it and labels it a song, which I kinda despise). but I wouldn never condone beating him up.
