    True story..when I was about 24 (20yrs ago). They came and played at an event in my hometown of Rocky Mount NC and because I was never really one to back down from a dare. I hopped up on stage with them and started doing the cabbage patch and other crazy ridiculous dances I think and security came out and pull me off the stage and then immediately the band members call me backup on stage put their arms around me and we cabbage patched together while I sang the rest of this song with them. It's a pretty awesome memory of mine that I don't mind sharing when the opportunity arises. I'll leave out the part about what we did on their boss after the show.
