Bully in a skirt charged with two felonies
Blues/soul singer Lester Chambers dedicated a song in a live set to the late Trayvon Martin and then sang a heart felt rendition of his hit "People Get Ready" only to be attacked by a female bully for his efforts:From TFA: The woman who brazenly attacked funkadellic soul music legend Lester Chambers on-stage during his July performance at Hayward Russell City Blues Festival has officially been charged with felonies, including Assault by Means Likely to Produce Great Bodily Injury and Elder Abuse, according to the Hayward and Alameda County's District Attorney's office. The 73 year old former member of The Chambers Brothers and the singer of influential hits, "People Get Ready", "Uptown", "I Can't Turn You Loose", and many more, was just revitalizing his career before allegedly being assaulted in front of a crowd of hundreds by 43-year-old Dinalynn Andrews-Potter on-stage after he dedicated "People Get Ready" to Trayvon Martin while the jury was in deliberations. Just a day after his attack, the acclaimed singer spoke with American Blues Scene, and true to a decades-long career professing peace, continued to have nothing but love in his heart -- though it was clear the attack would have a lasting impact on him as he talked about his feelings of not wanting to perform any more after the attack, and the nightmares he's always had about things going wrong on stage, though he's quick to add that this is one nightmare he never expected -- but is now haunted by.
