The other way around no I'd ask em to throw it in the pan a few minutes extra, but some hard shoe sole I wouldn't dare whine about that else they come taser me.

Quarrel over meat explodes: world famous American singer (75) evicted from Arnhem hotel
The American singer Melanie (75), known for the world hits Beautiful people, Lay Down and Ruby Tuesday, experienced a 'horrible' evening at the Bastion Hotel in Arnhem. She was put on the street with her suitcases, her son ended up in a police cell. "I still don't understand what happened."
The singer-songwriter who broke through at the renowned Woodstock festival in 1969 regularly tours the Netherlands. Likewise last month.
Arnhem was a central base for her, which is why she settled down on Wednesday 14 September in the Bastion Hotel on Eusebiusplein. “There was nothing going on until dinner,” says the singer. “I wanted a steak, but it was overcooked. It looked like shoe leather.”
"Sorry, but I didn't order that"
She asked for a new steak, but this time the meat was raw. "Sorry, but I didn't order that. So the girl went back to the kitchen. Then the manager came and started a whole story about staff shortages and that she had cooked the steak herself. They thought the meat was good. Actually, that was the whole story,” said the singer, who will fly back to America this week.
You don't put a 75-year-old guest on the street, do you? The police thought otherwise

An altercation ensued at the restaurant table, especially between Melanie's son, Beau Jarred, and the hotel manager. The argument became so heated that the manager wanted to evict the two guests from their hotel room. Because they did not respond, the police were called.
No reply
“I thought: this will work out. We will soon have the opportunity to tell our side of the story and that will be the end of it. You don't put a 75-year-old guest on the street, do you? The police thought very differently about that,” says Melanie.
The agents, she said, were not interested in a reply, simply asking the two American guests to leave the hotel.
Threaten with a taser
"My son is big and sturdy, so he can come across as intimidating, but he's a gentle boy who wouldn't hurt a fly. Nevertheless, the officers decided to handcuff him and threaten me with a taser. I don't want to know what would have happened if she had used it."
Before we call in the police, there must have been a threatening situation

Beau Jarred, who accompanies his mother on guitar at performances, spent several hours in jail, according to the singer. Then he was allowed to leave the office.
