The Bosstones - Dickey - here's a positive story about the band. Back in 1991 at City "shitty" Gardens in Trenton, NJ, my brother took a bad spill off the stage and concussed himself on the floor. Immediately, the security guards picked up his limp body; the show stopped for a minute while Dickey told the crew to take him to their bus to recover. AMAZING. My brother was rescued from certain stage diving disaster (remember this is 1991) by Dickey and his graciousness. At the end of the night, the band came on the bus to check on him. Wonderful.
