Bonnie Raitt was struck by a fragment of the fireworks shot off Thursday, the night of her performance at the State Fair.
My tipster (and thank you very much) described the fragment as low-flying. However, on Tuesday State Fair spokeswoman Renee Pearson told me: "I wouldn't call it low-flying. We shoot off fireworks every evening, and a piece of one of the shells hit her. I would say it was kind of a freak situation based on the way the wind was blowing. She was standing watching the fireworks backstage."
Raitt was "examined by our EMTs, and that was it," said Pearson.
The rocker has not responded to my question about the incident, asked via Twitter.
While making my appearance at the Star Tribune's State Fair booth on the first day of the fair, I spoke with a fairgoer who claimed to have seen Raitt walking among the masses.
Pearson could not confirm the sighting, although we agreed that Raitt is just regular people so it's possible. So Bonnie, shoot me a message via Twitter if that was you!
Perfumer to Prince: PayPrince owes Revelations Perfume and Cosmetics $4.4 million, according to a notice among the judgments in Tuesday's Finance & Commerce newspaper.
Something must have gone terribly awry in the development of Prince's 3121 perfume project from about five years ago.
