The rock band Fall Out Boy had promised a special acoustic performance in Washington Square Park on Monday afternoon to promote its new album, "Folie à Deux." The show did turn out to be special, in a way, and did not involve electricity, but it was quashed by the police because the band had not received the proper permits for a public performance. Pete Wentz, the bassist, above, apologized to the crowd: "We're not allowed to play right now," he said, before the group performed a quick a cappella version of its song "Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy."

This particular article didn't say, but I heard on the radio that the cops said to the musicians "If you pick up your instruments, we'll arrest you."

The police said the same thing to RATM on the MN state capital lawn during the GOP Convention.  RATM had a permit but backed down also and just sang 1 song without instruments. 

Anyway, FOB is good stuff.

And ticket the lions for hunting out of season.

in fact, I bet those heavy duty metal window and door shutters are not up to code.  Where's Carl?

I hope he knows that gun isn't legal in NYC, you know, the one he goes to sleep with in the bathtub. . . hope he has trigger locks on it so kids or zombies can't hurt someone with it.

In fact, I remember him broadcasting on the radio, does the FCC know about this shit?

Let's not forget letting his dog run through the city off-leash...
practicing medicine in an unlicensed facility...
