Apparently, you can have too much cowbell.

A demonstrator has been arrested in Wisconsin for excessive use of a cowbell.

The 26-year-old from Appleton was protesting for Recall Walker in the 1800 block of Oshkosh Avenue on Thursday, before his group was asked by an officer to keep the noise to a minimum, reports the North Western.

And the original report:

Oshkosh Police Department officers arrested the 26-year-old Appleton man after he decided to give an officer more cowbell after the officer requested the group of Recall Walker demonstrators gathered in the 1800 block of Oshkosh Avenue Thursday afternoon stay quiet and avoid blocking a restaurant’s driveway.

OPD spokesman Officer Joe Nichols said officers responded after restaurant customers called to complain the demonstrators had blocked access to the driveway at 4:20 p.m. Thursday. The man continued to shake the cowbell in the officer’s face in spite of his requests to not make excessive noise.

I would have thought that he'd be at the local clinic filling prescriptions for fever.

No. Those are examples of just enough cowbell. The OP refers to too much cowbell. Hear the difference?

The Bruce Dickinson would have used a tank instead of cowbell.
