Tempers (well, one temper) flared at the Norwegian Wood music festival in Oslo, Norway last Friday as Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme unleashed a torrid diatribe toward a young fan whom Homme had suspected threw something at him during the Queens performance. Homme tried to stir the ire of the thousands-strong crowd toward the boy. He also threatened to force non-consensual sodomy upon the lad unless he removed himself from the environs.
After complaining of a high fever and two days of intense gastro-intestinal revolt, Homme lambasted the young lad at great length, referring to him as a “twelve-year-old dickless turd.” He then beckoned security personnel to bring the tyke to the front and “lift him up so I can kick him in the fucking face.”
Finally, Homme can be seen, in a video clip that captures the outburst, heaving a bottle toward the face of the restrained child from what appears to be very close range.
No word yet as to who will represent the little fellow in the civil suit.

if your at a festival and you dont like the band-- go see another one...!? but hey,thats just me..
"Some journalists & citizens on the internet & are wondering: Q? Am I a homophobe because I included a slang for gay in with other "acceptable" curse words during a verbal lashing I gave a young concertgoer, after being hit by his shoe, during a show the other day? A= Nope. My gay family & friends, as well as myself, KNOW I am not a homophobe. For years now I've known gay is not a choice; one's skin color doesn't determine one's intelligence level; & red hair doesn't mean you're someone's stepchild. You see, it's not the words, it's their intent. I never said, nor suggested, that being gay is wrong, but apparently, based on your outrage to my flu-infused rant, you do! By that logic... I also told that young whipper snapper I'd have anal sex with him... how can I possibly reconcile these opposing viewpoints? I called him a pussy too. Does it mean I hate our one worlds' collective vagina? I never have been nor intend to be politically correct. That's your cross to bear. To me, that PC world would suck more shit than the porta-potty truck at Glastonbury. Homophobic? I'm in Queens of the Stone Age for crissake... You say, "So. Your band name doesn't prove anything." Maybe not. But it's a helluv a lot more definitive than the logic of some watchdog... (sorry canine-American, canine-European, canine-African, canine-Australian & canine-Asian) moralist, keeping score from pure perfectionville? If your glass house is squeegeed that clean & you need to do something, do what the great philosopher Bill Hicks once suggested: - forgive me-. Or don't. I'm not asking for either, OK? I think you should let both of your cheeks go loose so the stick will drop out. Either way I expect that you'll soon find another injustice from your chair, then roll to your bullhorn & point it out to the rest of us... Because you're so above it all. Or If you'll allow me to translate a wish of mine into your PC lingo:
Will you please go have consensual, sex with yourself.
Pretty please with all natural, carbon offset sugar on top.
Sincerely,
Mr. Missundastood
