STREISAND PELTED WITH ICE BY FURIOUS FAN
BARBRA STREISAND was shocked when a concertgoer disagreed with her political views and pelted her with ice while she was performing in south Florida on Monday night (30OCT06).
The music legend was on stage at the BankAtlantic Center in Fort Lauderdale and brought out a GEORGE W BUSH impersonator during one part of her show.
The phony US president jokingly asked her if they could sing a song together, to which Streisand replied, "How about ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?", referring to her 1970s disco duet with DONNA SUMMER.
At that point a disgruntled fan threw ice at the 64-year-old star, according to website TMZ.com.
Streisand managed to stay calm and reassured the audience, "It’s OK, it’s OK." When fans asked the staunch Democrat to sing a song for the Republicans, she suggested SEND IN THE CLOWNS, which reportedly upset another fan, who started to loudly boo the singer.
Both the heckler and the ice thrower were escorted out of the venue, which caused Streisand to quip, "If you want to hear my songs, buy my albums and stay at home," which caused the remaining fans to applaud enthusiastically.
This isn’t the first time the star’s political views have caused problems at her concerts - a similar scenario unfolded during Streisand’s show earlier this month (OCT06) at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where she told a fan to "f**k off".
