Fall Out Boy Fires Fists During Show

Our friends from Fall Out Boy launched a little riot from the stage at their Sunday night show at the Sunshine Theatre in Albuquerque. Bassist Pete Wentz completely fell out after catching sight of a security guard hassling one of their roadies. When Wentz saw the altercation, he threw down his mic, jumped off the stage and threw down with the security dude. After the scuffle, Wentz picked up his mic once more and addressed the audience thusly: "That's what you get when you fuck with my friends — fucking asshole!"

“Push It”

Salt-N-Pepa | 1987

Originating as a B side to their cover of the Stax classic “Tramp,” Cheryl “Salt” James, Sandi “Pepa” Denton and Dee Dee “DJ Spinderella” Roper came up with the goods on this career-making, Grammy-nominated platinum single about working it on the dancefloor. “Push It” has been sampled and spliced to death since it debuted in 1987, yet the original track is as fresh and fly as when SNP — among the few original women of hip-hop — debuted it. “Most men will never believe ‘Push It’ was never about sex,” said James. “And that’s why the record went to Number One,” said Denton. “Everybody thought it was about sex.”
