I totally agree with the stupidity of "trashing" musical instruments and mics on purpose.

Jerry Lee Lewis. One evening about 50 years ago, the scene was a restaurant with upstairs bar in Hot Springs, Arkansas. As I recall, racing season was in full swing and Jerry Lee Lewis was performing at a nightly gig at the bar upstairs. My wife and I were entering the foyer of the place and had just followed our friends to the escalator. About halfway, shots rang out from upstairs and Jerry Lee came running down the stainless steel sides of the escalator at full tilt, quickly followed by a hail of gunfire from a jealous husband. Naturally, we ducked and dodged as best we could and it was amazing that nobody in the place was hit or injured in the pandemonium.

That sure gave us plenty to remember and be grateful for whenever someone would bring up that event.
