Over a Dozen Hospitalized After Last Night's O.A.R. Show

2008_08_OAR.jpgA chaotic scene emerged outside last night's O.A.R. concert at Jones Beach where concertgoers "threw beer bottles, stood on car rooftops and tossed young women in the air." Newsday reports that at least twelve people in attendance were brought to the hospital with alcohol poisoning and police said that there were "massive amounts of underage drinking." Rowdy crowds are nothing new for concerts of O.A.R. (which stands for "of a revolution"). Last year 82 arrests were made outside the jam band's live show in Holmdel, New Jersey.
