The Wall Street Journal, of all publications, has an article on the history of yelling “Freebird!” at concerts (via Kottke).
What to do about it? Well, according to Dave Matthews, M. Doughty from Soul Coughing once said “there should be a law that every time someone yells ‘Freebird!’ the band has to play it. Pretty soon no one would ask for that fucking song anymore!”
