good point, I dunno why I said that, hell, I went to see him a while
back when he was at MSG, had I forgotten that? and that place is far
from private. anyways, yeas, he does have that right by virtue of the
first amendment. also, a good point, the very right which gives him
the freedom to say what he wants, gives anyone else the right to stand
in his face and confront him, or, slander him over a newsgroup. :)
well, maybe not slander, _that's_ a crime. but you all know what I
mean..
