OINGO BOINGO
A 46-year-old woman from Orange County has filed a law suit against A & M rock group Oingo Boingo claiming she broke her leg when she was trounced by slam dancers during a show at the Pacific Ampitheatre [sic] In Costa Mesa last August, the woman, Mary Ann Specer [sic], also plans to sue opening act X; the Ampitheatre’s [sic] administrators, the State of California’s 32nd Agriculture Association and Ticketron. The suit asks for State of California’s 32nd Agriculture Association and Ticketron. The suit asks for $100,000 in damages. According to Spencer, whose tastes run more toward classical guitarist Andres Segovia than schizo-rock ringleader Danny Elfman’s yowls, she was tossed around in the air “like a volleyball” by a gang of marauding youths when she chaperoned her 13-year-old niece to the concert. The woman referred to the incident as a “mob scene” and claims that about 40 teens piled on top of her as well, crushing her leg. She and her attorney have told the press that the parties named in the lawsuit should have warned ticketholders that the event could be dangerous to their health.
