The only time I’ve ever been brought on stage during a concert was a few years ago, when Yo La Tengo lead singer Ira Kaplan pointed my way and told me, and a few other lucky fans, to drum along with the band for a song. The video below, in which Rihanna gives a lap dance to the Dictionary definition of “nerd,” is… very different from my three-and-a-half minutes of fame. I didn’t hover hand over anyone’s backside, nor did I throw up the devil’s horns after a Barbadian sex-god takes off my spectacles.
My glasses did, however, fall off when I made my way off-stage, so I take it back: same thing.
