Breast-Flashing At MÖTLEY CRÜE Concert Results In Investigation Over Possible License Violation

September 17, 2005

Duane Bourne of The Virginian-Pilot has issued the following report:

The [Virginia] state's liquor agency is investigating whether the Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach Amphitheater violated its license during a MÖTLEY CRÜE concert last week.

The state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control said it is looking into a complaint that a band member carried a video camera through the audience and encouraged women to flash their breasts. The video was shown on the large projection screens.

Leon Coleman, special agent in charge of the Chesapeake regional office, would not elaborate, except to say that the agency had interviewed a person who attended the concert.

Under state law, any establishment that allows lewd, obscene or indecent pictures on its premises can have its ABC license suspended or revoked.

During MÖTLEY CRÜE shows, drummer Tommy Lee routinely persuades women to lift their shirts for the camera. Radio stations and unofficial band Web sites document the R-rated stripteases.

Andy Edwards, who owns Chicho's, Crazy Charlie's and Live, said the MÖTLEY CRÜE concert is an example of selective enforcement. He said several Oceanfront bars have faced fines and suspensions for lesser offenses.
