Moby Gets Electrocuted At Acoustic Performance

We like to give Moby a tough time. Sure the guy makes unassuming, semi-craptastic music that mid-life crisis dad’s buy with their morning coffee. He also just breathes new-age organic arrogance — check out his castle that he lives in near Griffith Park. Dave the King of Mexico also told me “the guy’s bald and way too old to rave.”

But I’m sure he’s just a sweet, aging man, who counts his piles of money high atop said castle, judging everyone below while drinking some crazy-rare herbal tea blend, out of the music spotlight.

So it’s fitting that while performing an intimate set at an Amsterdam Art Gallery, simply put, Moby gets electrocuted. While playing an acoustic guitar…

Wow. Where to start on this one?

The Dutch dude running the art gallery that thinks it’s a joke? Moby’s singer who holds the wire that electrocuted him after he gets the shock treatment? The super-dramatic fall and pass out even after he seems completely fine? The fact that he got electrocuted where his cross tattoo is located on the back of his neck? The dozens of press in attendance that stand and take pictures instead of helping him?

To update — Moby is fine. He later tweeted: “”Thanks for coming to the acoustic show. I apologize for being electrocuted.”

Yes, of course Moby, it’s your fault. Drama queen king.
