Who knows? Maybe this bat was just sick of listening to crappy music.
According to Uproxx, Derrick Skou and a couple of friends were camping in Clackamas County, Oregon, last weekend. The plan was to relax and play some “hippie music,” but the trip took a nasty turn and the guys ended up taking out a rabid bat with a BB gun after it attacked and bit Skou.
“Something hit me,” Skou told a local television station. “I was concentrating on staying in time and all that and it hit me here and I kind of saw something out of my peripheral vision. And then … it just bit me. It was a cold bat nose-mouth, whatever. It didn’t sting. I wasn’t injected with anything. It was just a cold bite.”
After smoking the bat with a BB gun, Skou brought its corpse to health officials. They confirmed the bat did indeed have rabies, and Skou received treatment.
Geez. If the bat bit Skou after listening to a just few seconds of his jam session, imagine what it would have done if the Goo Goo Dolls would have been there.
