It seems that Alex Lifeson (the lead guitarist for Rush) got a little too frisky for his ringing in the new year festivities. More info as I happen to find it.
-- Update --
Here's his mug shot. I think I can stand by one of my comments from their DVD (#3, in this case).
-- Update 2 --
I found a better news link than the Washington Post and updated the above link accordingly. And this one has the mug shots of the son and the daughter-in-law as well (man, what is up with the kid's eyes? Is he just really tired, or did he get beaten up somewhere along the line?), as well as some further information. It seems that young Lifeson (I'm not even going to try and type in the actual name, so go with me on this one) decided to hop on stage and sing a song to his wife. Security was called, things got a little testy, Alex jumped into the fray and there were tasers all around.
-- Update 3 --
Lifeson speaks! I think my favorite quote from this article is from Lifeson himself: "[he] didn't believe his arrest was fair.". Off the top of my head, how many people think that their arrest was particularly fair?
And... it appears that there's some video footage of Lifeson leaving the police station.
You know, this is the kind of thing that is both really amazing/great about the power and reach of the internet and really scary/disturbing about the power and reach of the internet.
