This Dude Doesn't Abide

Hanson dudes arrested after refusing to leave Somerville bar

Okay, so I just moved back to Bah-ston, and am currently residing on the South Shore, freelancing for a couple of local dailies, and covering this town, where some dudes, apparently, just don't abide....

Police arrested a pair of rowdy, beer-swigging men after they were kicked out of Good Time Emporium in Somerville and refused to leave Friday night, June
27.

It all started when Michael Vaughan, 24, of Hanson, allegedly took his Bud Light beer with him when he went to smoke a cigarette on the outdoor patio of the bar at 11:05 p.m.

When bar staff told him alcohol was not allowed outside, the apparently intoxicated Vaughan said, “Dude, get real. I’ll do what I want,” according to police reports.

When Officer James Slattery and Sgt. John Vozella, who were working paid details at Good Time Emporium, warned Vaughan he would be arrested if he didn’t leave, Vaughan replied, “Dude, are you for real?"

Apparently, the cop was.

On the way to the police station, police said, Vaughan continued to make irrational statements, saying, “You don’t know what I am going to do to you” and “I’m from Pembroke, Massachusetts.”

Sounds like that's one dude who has been smoking too much of the real Dude's shit.

I use Hanson as the big example in my discussion about why t'weens ought not to make it big in the music world. Once you are Shawn Cassidy or Bobby Sherman or New Kids or Hanson, you can never live it down. Hanson is still trying to convince the world that they play music for a beer-drinking crowd.

With this arrest, maybe that will happen. Or else Hanson will wind up on the show with those kids from Dif'rent Strokes who went into theft and porn.
