I admit I'd be super pissed, but I'll also admit I might do the same thing.
Band arrested after blocking LA freeway to perform
Tue Oct 12, 9:07 pm ET
LOS ANGELES – A rock band will have to face the music after blocking a Los Angeles freeway and performing atop its trailer. California Highway Patrol spokesman Rick Quintero said a big box van decorated with Imperial Stars' logo stopped on the southbound U.S. 101 near Sunset Boulevard at about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, blocking four of the five lanes.
The driver took the keys and fled in another car, then three musicians climbed on top of the van and began to perform.
Quintero said they were arrested and the truck was finally towed away around noon after causing a mile-long traffic jam.

assholes...i hope no one buys their music or pays to listen to it...what if someone had a real emergency and this intentionally jam caused their deaths...how many people lost money due to being late
leaving the vehicle without keys was extremely dangerous, these morons make jackass look intelligent
I admit I'd be super pissed, but I'll also admit I might do the same thing.

Traffic Jam 101
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Ah, the name is "Imperial Stars"...
If you want people to avoid their stuff you have to give them the information.

They're lucky they weren't mobbed by the stuck motorists and beaten senseless.
Here lies the body of Mary Lee; died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her virginity; not a bad record for this vicinity.
Good GOD but you're a joyless little lump, aren't you?
Does your wife keep a bathtub full of defenseless baby seals for you to club if you come home from work in a bad mood?
I really pity angry people like you who can't derive pleasure from anything...you'd probably take a shotgun to a bunch of kids running a "chinese firedrill".
It's over for you. Any day now I expect you'll be hounding the neighbor kids with "you kids get the hell out of my yard".

lol...you give an extremely angery rant to my thinking some people are stupid and could have hurt someone
good lord, your post is total projection is nothing but hate and anger...seriously, yiou're disturbed
i take it your fully support their actions, maybe it will be you on the way to the hospital next time someone pulls this stunt, lets see how HAPPY you are about it then....scratch that, if you had to but sit in this traffic you would have been cursing with spittle flying out of your mouth, just look how angry you are over a poster who doesn't agree with their actions
how is it anyone can get as angry as zappa over someone disagreeing with what these kids did?
i wonder if zappa was not hiding behind anonymity on the web if he would say that? i wonder if zappa made those comments in the link i provided? i doubt it...
you have be a seriously disturbed person to get upset over someone not agreeing with what those kids did...helll...i didn't even call for retribution, but angry zappa believes i will take a shotgun to kids to chinese fire drill...which of course is the same thing as a 4 hour long, 1 mile long traffic jam
poor zappa![]()

Projection is a wonderful thing, eh Yurtsie?
It's what allows you to pretend you didn't really post an angry rant about a bunch of kids playing music and inconveniencing some people while taking a unique approach to marketing themselves.
You may not know this Yurtsie, but an Ambulance comes with EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND SIRENS...meaning any Ambulance could EASILY get itself unstuck from any jam...after all, this was the 101 and not some dead end cul de sac.
You also might not know this Yurtsie, but I live in Houston, the 4th largest city in the country and am intimately acquainted with sitting in traffic...it's never bothered me before and it CERTAINLY wouldn't have bothered me if a free live music concert was included in my delay.
btw...I'm not angry, I just REALLY enjoy highlighting what an enormous douchebag you can be...hee hee hee
you've obviously never been in LA on the 101 with a mile long traffic jam....the amulance could not simply get out of the jam, in some spots the shoulders are not wide enough and even if the ambulance had to go on the shoulder their speed would be greatly reduced
i seriously can't believe you're saying their intentional traffic jam would not slow up an ambulance....wow...just wow
and you should really reread your post...its full of hate and anger
