  • soooo I was there the night in question at the Blind Pig. The reviewer is not exactly the most intuitive person in the rowboat... there's zero chance Dan was serious about being angry with the guy or kicking him out. He is, like most singer/songwriters, always teetering on the edge during a performance... self-doubt butting against bravado. The guy was just a little trippin and had a weird reaction at a point of the night where Dan was looking to get his footing.

  • The reviewer is kind of clueless, as demonstrated by the review's lack of understanding about the use of icons as metaphor/mythology... which is actually a quite brilliant and concise way to get your point across in 3 and a half minutes.

  • Anyway. Dan's been known to ride the mood swing rollercoaster... but he's one of the sweetest and most sincere humans you'll ever meet and for some lamebrain to take some clueless person's convoluted analysis and turn it into hatred for the guy... that's lame in the first degree.

  • Dan Bern fans! Catch Dan Bern’s appearance on Dave’s Gone By, Sat, noon-3pm(ET) 3/12/11 on UNC Radio (uncradio. c0m). He’ll chat about music, religion, touring, his family and more. If you miss the show, hear it in the archives at davesgoneby. c0m.

  • As someone who has personally met the guy, he is far from an ass. He can be sarcastic at times but he really is nice.

  • Dan is the man. Beauty live.

  • Dan Bern is awesome. I haven't read all the bickering going on, but in Dan's defense I saw him live a few years back and he was such a cool guy. After the show he did photos, drinks, and had real convos with practically everyone who attended. Closed down the bar with us. Rare to see an artist be so friendly with their fans.

  • @Shintiko Hah I enjoy getting arise from folks on youtube cause I'm just a puerile college student who goads fanboys into fights, right? Maybe half. And commenting here doesn't take but 5 minutes, so that's classic comeback doesn't hold water. And if I had that kind of music video made, I would ask the director to not make it so kitsch. But who am I to even begin to comment on things above me head. Hah seriously I'll bow out gracefully and admit that I like Dan, just wish he were nicer at times.

  • @Shintiko Haha didn't take more than one wild google search of "Dan Bern Insults Fan" to turn that little link up. And laughing isn't really interrupting a show too terribly, doesn't warrant a "GTFO." And my point is that as a formerly(?) struggling musician, he ought to show a bit more grace and humility, especially towards other musicians and fans, both of which I have heard he has openly insulted/disrespected. He's a solid musician, but that doesn't diminish his capacity to be an "ass."

  • @MrZuss Also because Dan Bern once told a fan to "get the fuck out," that does not make him an ass. I have seen musicians do far worse. People pay money to see Dan play and if someone is going to interrupt the show, I wouldn't be surprised if they are thrown out. I've had concerts nearly ruined for me due to obnoxious people. The fact that you looked this event up after hearing he was an ass just makes me think you are trying to prove your point to dedicated fans who aren't going to listen.
