While incidences of Karaoke-bar brawling have seemingly increased in recent years, they’re usually over an individual’s choice of songs. For example, the violent attack at Changes over the Coldplay song “Yellow.” Sometimes a ballad poorly chosen or sung can result in something like this. Nevertheless, ye olde karaoke bars aren’t immune to scuffles of more pedestrian beginnings. Case in point, last Thursday, at the beloved Crescent on Capitol Hill, police responded to a call over a brawl that originated in the bumping of bar stools–or something like that.According to a heavily redacted police report, Dude A turned to Dude B and asked him not to bump A’s stool anymore. B claimed that he had apologized as soon as he bumped A, but A, while having none of it, nevertheless insisted on making something of it. This quickly turned into the two screaming redacted things at each other. Then one grabbed the other by the throat and threw him out the door. Or one of them fell and the other redirected him out the door. Or something like that. Neither man was injured. Lest the isolated brouhaha give the wrong impression, SW managing editor Mike Seely reassures all in his dive bar opus that the iconic watering hole-in-the-wall is a “spectacularly friendly, come-one, come-all” establishment.
