Is he still a likable character?  I don't know anything about him, of 
course--I've never been a fan and didn't know who he was before the Quad 
tour--but he looks like someone whose appetites are out of control.  Has his 
audience suddenly turned on him?

I guess rock stars in general are questionable characters--that business of 
statutory rape sounds familiar.  I've also heard Billy Idol has been in 
trouble for assault and domestic violence.  I guess beating up girls isn't 
the problem that kiddy porn is, though.  Nobody ever mentions it.

Unfortunately, TED seem to suffer from good character.  Not much material 
for press there.  The media has to make stuff up. (Pete's gay!)
