The "opening band" thread got me thinking about this one...have you ever had to open for something, or maybe had someone open for you that was ridiculous? Man, I've had a few.
I once was in a Christian rock band who had a beach music band open for us. Who did we open for? Accordion players.
Same genre as above but different band, opened for a Southern Gospel group. Went over like a lead balloon.
I was in an Americana band and opened for a quilting presentation.
I was in a country band. Our opening act was a punk folk ukulele player. We were at a VERY FAMILY-FRIENDLY setting, and this guy gets up and starts singing about suicide, his friend killing himself, using foul language, etc. The organizer shut him down after like two songs. So, we did our set. After us? A watermelon-eating contest.
How about you?
