A funny thing happened when the Rolling Stones played the Hampton Coliseum in Virginia on Kieth Richards' birthday in '81.

During their encore song, "Satisfaction", thousands of balloons were released and a fan, taking advantage of the confusion, ran past security and onto the stage, directly at Keith.

Keith nailed the guy with his Telecaster, then put it back on and kept playing.

Keith was born on December 18, 1943.

I'm disappointed. I mean, don't call that "nailed". He barely touched the guy.

It's obscured by Mick, but I think he hit the guy in the head with the body of the guitar pretty straight on.

Yes, at one point it actually seems to get tangled in the guy's hair and stick to his head for a second. Regardless of the contact of the hit, it is extra awesome because you KNOW Keith Richrds had this battle plan in mind from the day he picked up a guitar.
