Smash Mouth's singer Steve Harwell has had a career as long and storied as his pencil-thin Abe Lincoln beard. He penned the seminal bar mitzvah jam "All Star,"ate two dozen eggs for charity, and even cameoed in the film Rat Race. He is a man deserved of respect and adoration—but some audience members at his show last night at a food festival in Colorado opted instead to pummel the triple platinum recording artist with bread. Harwell was not amused, and gave the anonymous bread tosser a stern talking to about courtesy as his band played on behind him.

Here's the tirade in its entirety before Harwell shakes off the bread crumbs and the band launches into a version of "All Star" with his bassist covering the vocals.

The whole thing is reminiscent of another famous scene in rock 'n' roll history, when Pavement was run off the stage at Lollapalooza to a hail of mud and rocks. Time has solidified Pavement's status as untouchable royalty and the rock throwers as shitty mid-90s losers. We can only wish the same fate on Harwell and his bread-chucking nemesis.
