Moby beaten up

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

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.

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?

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.
