Patrick Wolf, who is some sort of British pop star singer, was arrested in San Francisco last night. Thankfully, he Twittered the entire thing for your enjoyment.
pw_official: "Was arrested by san fran police for spitting in a bouncers face in protection of myself. Was almost shot in the face by a policeman. WTF?
3:34 AM Jun 9th from web "
pw_official: "was told by the policeman "take your shitty ass music out of this city and if you ever step off that tour bus you will be ***** ******** "
3:37 AM Jun 9th from web"
pw_official: "feeling very thelma and louise right now.. must sleep... not allowed off the bus or i will be shot by a policeman. this country is insane!!!
3:57 AM Jun 9th from web "
And finally.
pw_official: "btw. apparently my spit DEFINITELY contains "hiv, swine flu and hepatitis" that is why my spit is a deadly weapon according to police here!
4:01 AM Jun 9th from web"
First, sorry about the alleged harassment, Wolf. Second, how dare you evoke the good names of Thelma and Louise in comparison to your mild arrest by San Francisco's petal-soft police force. It's not appropriate and it's not funny. When a girl's crying like that? She isn't having any fun.
Anyway, according to Pitchfork, Wolf claims that he was also "'almost shot in the face'." The harrowing incident, it seems, occurred after Wolf spat in a bouncer's face ("in protection of myself," he claims). Anyone see what went down last night?



So remember how the British took over the world a few hundred years ago?
Now they're a bunch of pansies. What happened guys?
well, they also gave us the word "poof"
From all of my experiences with SFPD over the near decade I've lived in the city I'll tell you this: You've got to be a reeeeeaaaaallllll dick to get one to threaten to shoot you in the face.
For some reason I think he may be exaggerating just a tad
And I was just wondering what Chris Crocker was up to these days.
Since when is spitting in a bouncer's face a form of self-defense?
Um, if you spit in anyone's face in SF, I want you arrested. That's assault for sure. No exceptions for pop stars.
It is if your spit contains hiv, swine flu and hepatitis.
I wish he would step off the bus.
His music is horrible. It's pretentious crap. The cops should have beat him and thrown him in the bay.
almost
So the SFPD are music critics now? Sweet!
Gibby Haynes (Butthole Surfers) once got arrested for spitting on Johnny Rotten at a Sex Pistols event. If you're going to get arrested for spitting on someone, do it right.
It was a good show. He said he was planning on taking the party to the Eagle afterward, but it sho sounds like he didn't make it that far
Right now, his bandmates are sadly regretting that they didn't shove him off the tour bus into the line of fire...
I called SFPD this morning to report on the story for our site The Rad Report (http://theradreport.com/patrick_wolf_arrest) and they said no police report existed... meaning he wasn't brought in.
Allow me to paraphrase, "wah wah wah wah, my panties are too tight, wah wah wah."
There. That should do it.
I have no idea who this turdpile is, was or will be but he looks like a total dick.
