*Now* she does. Your post remembered that quote of her: "aren't you actors
my mom pays for to give me an illusion of a normal social life?"

Oasis perform a live gig. At the end of the performance, Noel throws his 
tamberine into the crowd. Then the drummer gets up and throws his 
drumsticks into the crowd. And then Liam hoists his Union Jack electric 
guitar into the air over his head. The crowd goes insane! But after 
hesitating for a moment, he puts it down again and stroles off stage.

(Trust me, if Liam Ghallager's guitar had gone into the crowd, A) 
somebody would how have a serious concussion from being hit in the head 
with a guitar, and B) there would have been mass riots over who gets to 
keep the sacred object...)

I suspect there would have been a lot of hands in the way long before it got 
to anyones head!

*You* try catching a heavy object at arm's length! ;-)

(As an aside... I'm not actually sure why electric guitars are so heavy. 
But trust me, they *are*!)

If there's 20 pairs of hands all above my head, I wouldn't mind!  Ever seen 
*a person* jump into a crowd? ;-)

Actually no... but apparently it's a commonly-used method of testing how 
good a band is. If you jump into the crowd and they move out of the way, 
YOU SUCK! ;-)

Heh. A fitting punishment for some of the acts I've heard!
