David | MEMORY FROM 2002

Cheezus

LOCATION: Jones Beach , Long Island

YEAR: 2002

TAGS: Coldplay, Concerts

PUBLISHED: January 11, 2008

Before liking Coldplay was designated as a sign of possibly being homosexual (see 40 Year Old Virgin), my wife and I would try to see them together whenever possible: first at the Bowery Ballroom, a small club for a band of their scale (with Oasis watching from the balcony), then at Jones Beach and finally their victory lap for the album A Rush of Blood to the Head at Madison Square Garden.

But this memory concerns the Jones Beach show. Food and drink aren't really allowed inside the outdoor amphitheater (er), so you basically must fuel up quickly outside the venue in a sub-par food court. So there I was standing in line for random bad Northeastern Mexican food and about to check out, when some dude turned in front of me and knocked a container of hot yellow nacho cheese all down the front of my pants and into my new shoes. I didn't know quite what to say besides "Jesus!"... he seemed quite drunk and looked at my pants and shoes and said, "Uh, Cheezus"... and looked away to his buddy and giggled.

The song "Yellow" will always remind me of this.
