Pun Rock
By Mitch Berg
The story itself is dog bites man:
Three men who showed up in full Nazi regalia to a hardcore punk show at an Old City bar Friday night were attacked by as many as 50 people on the streets after leaving the venue, according to witnesses and club management…
…
“I guess being on 2nd Street in SS uniforms on a Friday night is a way to incite a semi-riot,” [the club owner] said.
But the headline was worth it…:
Concertgoers show the Reich stuff, are beaten by crowd
…as was the lede…:
How did they Nazi this coming?
I mean, I got a yuk over it.

[Khyber owner Stephen Simons] said “As a Jew, I am totally offended by them wearing the uniforms,” he said. “But, as an American citizen, I totally uphold their right to dress however they want to dress.”
If 1000 men in Nazi uniforms showed up I wonder if you’d be singing the same tune, landman.
