Mgr and Band saw she was in trouble. Just stood there like morons


Before she collapse, it was obvious that she was in distress. Had it been a fan jumping towards the stage like we examlpes of, security would been on the quick right there.

But she arrives, obviously messed up is allowed to go standing on stage in a stupor asking "where is everyone going" and the Mgr, a real bastard if ever I saw one, just stared as did her stupid geek band instead of yelling for someone to get a medic, which the Mgr should have had on standby just in case knowing her history, he could have given her something to help slow the poison long enough to get her to the hospital.

But they all stood there with a Duuuuuuuuuhhhhh, look on their stupid faces. I hate that scene more then anything.

Keep in mind that the movie is fictitious. They were clearly going for a 'Janis Joplin dying young' parallel, and maybe they were going for a deliberate 'trainwreck that no one can stop' theme there.

I'd say it was a little bit of both.
