QuoteA group of angry fans threw eggs at Lady Gaga in response to her recent appearance on stage in Sydney, Australia rolling around in a wheelchair.
Though the throwers missed Gaga herself, a few eggs hit members of her entourage. It is unclear why audience members had the eggs in the first place, however.

Being controversial and the freedom to have artistic control sometimes means you cross certain boundaries and don't realise. I'm a bit puzzled too, as to why people would take eggs to a concert - they obviously already intended to egg her before even knowing that she was going to take to a wheelchair, but then again, they have paid for tickets...

:question:

Maybe word got out that she was going to perform in a wheelchair ...

Bette Midler did the ol' 'Mermaid in a Wheelchair' shtick years ago.



I have always wondered where audiences in old movies got the tomatoes, lettuce, etc. they always throw at bad performers. I figured they sold the stuff in the lobby.
If you're an Andy Milligan fan there's no hope for you.

I think its a gag that pays homage to the old vuadville times where rotten produce and other things would be thrown to get bad performers off the stage(I think, Im not certain however and I'm too lazy to look it up.)

I'd egg her even if she wasn't in a wheel chair.

Though I don't listen to her at all, I know so many who do.  And they're not kids.  
I admire artistic expression, especially if it p**ses people off.   :thumbup: :teddyr:  But, they went there with that intent.  Nobody's got groceries at a Concert.

The audience tried to egg on Lady Gaga but the yolks on her entourage.
