Good Charlotte Kicks Ass

Benji Madden beat the hell out of a drunk yahoo who touched his hat.
HIPSTERS may snicker at his sugary pop-punk band’s reputation as musical lightweights, but Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden proved that he packs a heavyweight punch at nightclub Don Hill’s in TriBeCa on Saturday night.
The heavily tattooed musician delivered a well-deserved beatdown to an obnoxious clubgoer at the spot’s “MisShapes” party, reports a Page Six source. We’re told that the scrum started when the guy grabbed Madden’s hat. Madden wrestled him to the floor and started “punching the [bleep] out of him,” our tipster says.
After the clubgoer grabbed Madden’s necklace, a security guard jumped in and put a choke hold on the instigator, who was ultimately kicked out. Reps for Madden and for Don Hill’s did not return calls.
If you’re going to beat up somebody for touching your hat, it oughta at least be a cowboy hat, not some lame ass backwards baseball cap. There’s a fine tradition in country music of “don’t touch my hat” songs.
Chris LeDoux put it most poetically,
You’ll ride a black tornado across a western sky.
Rope an old blue norther and milk it ’till it’s dry.
Bulldog the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat
Long before you take this cowboy’s hat.
Lyle Lovett’s contribution to the genre is probably the funniest.
You can have my girl
But don’t touch my hat
David Allan Coe, not surprisingly, put it most violently:
I like my whiskey straight up
Daqueri just makes me ill
If someone touches my cowboy hat I get mad enough to kill
But those guys are talking about a real hat, not something you can get at Wal-Mart for $6.
