Pearl Jam "morally responsible"



And I thought arguments like this were over with Cincinnati and trash
like Fuller's "Are The Kids Alright?"  Guess he'll get to write another
book now:

PEARL JAM were "morally responsible" for the deaths of nine people at
the Roskilde festival, according to a police report submitted to the
Danish parliament on Monday (July 17). 

Police have cleared the festival organisers of any wrongdoing, but
suggest the group's tendency to urge their fans to indulge in "violent
behaviour" was a contributory factor in the June 30 tragedy. 

The report, based on interviews with nearly 300 witnesses, slams the
group for "whipping a crowd into a frenzy when the ground was slippery
and visibility was poor due to vapour in the air from thousands of
people sweating". 

Denmark's chief justice minister Frank Jensen has yet to decide what
action, if any, he will take in light of the report.
