Pat Green Knocked Out Cold By Cold One Save Email Print

(August 19, 2008)—Waco-born country singer-songwriter Pat Green got knocked out cold by a cold one during a performance over the weekend after NASCAR’s Carfax 250 race at the Michigan International Speedway.

The Jackson Citizen Patriot reported that late in his show, he shouted, "Anyone got a beer?"

A can of suds suddenly soared from the audience onto the stage.

Then a second can from the crowd hit Green between the eyes, knocking him out.

Medical personnel treated him at the track.

There was no word Tuesday on how he’s doing.

Pat Green did not ask for a beer. He stated beer was the last word of the song. Yes someone threw a beer. He recieved a cut to the face but was never knocked out.

I'm suprised anyone was sober enough to lob one that far. Good thing no one threw panites at the stage. He prolly would have smothered. Them Nascar "hotties" wear some big drawers. LOL

I'm a NASCAR fan myself. All I have to say is, it could have been a beer keg.
Posted by: north Location: top on Aug 21, 2008 at 12:09 PM

Posted by: thisguy on Aug 21, 2008 at 10:08 AM

Hey at least they don't allow glass bottles at NASCAR or it could have been a lot worse.
Posted by: wacoan on Aug 21, 2008 at 03:04 AM
I'm just glad that he is doing ok, and wasn't badly injured. I just pray that people use wisdom if they are going to drink, and that if they know they have trouble handling liquor to not drink it in the first place.

Hey "American" Bite me and all the rest of the NASCAR fans. I was at the concert and I didnt throw anything. What a jerk.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Waco on Aug 20, 2008 at 12:47 PM
Could not have happened to a better person.
Posted by: Jeff Location: Lampasas on Aug 20, 2008 at 10:32 AM
Ouch!!! I bet he won't ask for another cold one when he's on stage again.
Posted by: SHEWDOG Location: INDIANA on Aug 20, 2008 at 10:04 AM
WE WERE THERE AT MIS AND SAW THE CONCERT. PAT WAS GREAT. THERE HAD TO BE 3000 ADULT BEVERAGED NASCAR FANS ENJOYING THE CONCERT AND HAVING A GREAT TIME. BEER CANS WERE NOT THE ONLY THINGS BEING THROWN. BEADS AND SHIRTS WERE FLYING LEFT AND RIGHT. HATED TO SEE PAT GET HURT BUT HE SHOULD HAVE REALIZED WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
Posted by: Ron Location: Waco on Aug 20, 2008 at 10:03 AM
Find out who threw it and sign them up for the Rangers. Maybe he can market a new name for the beer( Knock Out) and get paid millions.

HAHA!.. Man I needed a good laugh this morning.. Thanks Pat.. I've never been entertained before this.

Posted by: Me Location: Waco on Aug 19, 2008 at 10:29 PM

Posted by: Me Location: Central Texas on Aug 19, 2008 at 09:33 PM
Too funny!
Posted by: Sam Bam Location: CenTx on Aug 19, 2008 at 08:42 PM
Glad he didn't ask for a shot!
Posted by: Karie Location: Fort Worth on Aug 19, 2008 at 06:15 PM
I saw Pat in Iowa the next day and he was in good spirits and still managed to do a great show. Thank God, it could have been much worse.
