Afroman's Latest Hit

In 2001, “Afroman”, real name Joseph Foreman, blamed everything he did on the fact that he “got high”. But that was all light-hearted fun, wasn’t it? You know – he was going to clean his room; go to work; go to court; eat your pussy; pay his child support – but he got high.

His new excuse is “a completely involuntary reflex reaction to people infringing on his stage space”. Yeah, I know it’s not quite as catchy, but he’s not singing it this time; he’s using it to defend punching a female fan in the face so hard that he knocked her flat on her back.

The video of the incident is quite shocking. It shows him performing a guitar solo when a female fan gets on stage and starts dancing next to him. Then he spins around and lands a fucking haymaker on her that Mike Tyson would have been proud of. And that was an “involuntary reflex reaction”…????!!!! Fucking hell – what’s he like when he really wants to hit someone?

But when you get down to it, the whole thing is just a chicken-shit act by a tosser with more ego than record sales. Hitting anybody is bad enough, but hitting a woman…? That’s just too wrong. I’m not being sexist when I say that. It’s just a fact that the majority of men are physically stronger than women, so they definitely shouldn’t be throwing punches at them. I’m well aware that Ronda Rousey would beat the living shit out of me without even breathing heavy. In fact, that’s what should happen; they should put Afroman in an MMA ring with Ronda and see how big a man he is then. I’m sure she’d be happy to oblige.

The fact is, I’m a fat bloke, and although I’m disabled I’m still fairly solid. But that punch would have floored me. It was just so vicious. There’s absolutely no excusing it. If he didn’t want her “infringing on his stage space” he could move away. I’m sure although his audience could fit in a phone box, the stage was a bit bigger than that; he surely could have moved. Then if she followed, he could be forgiven for just pushing her to the side a bit so she didn’t ruin the solo. But landing a fuck-ball like that on her…he should do time for that.

Fuck you, Afroman, you one-hit wonder. You’re a coward. Now I know why you made all those chicken noises on that one hit you had 14 years ago.
