Starving for Attention OR Now That's Punk Rock

I decided to share an interesting story that recently came across the AP Newswire. You make the call: are they a band starving for some attention or are they PUNK ROCK?

FLINT, Mich. -- A burning thong was a little too hot for a Flint club.

Lead guitarist Joe Klein, of the punk band Treephort, dropped his pants during their set and set his thong on fire. He then stripped off the burning thong and ran around the stage in the raw.

Police and firefighters responded, after someone called 911.

The band's singer Lee Satterfield doesn't know what all the fuss is about. He said they're professionals and know how to do the burning thong thing.

No one was busted. But the club's owner gave the band the hook, cutting short their set.
