Bullshit. Steve Perry is a legend. Bruce is a legend. Elvis is/was a legend. Those guys aren't out there lippin. The day Steve Perry lips is the day life ends for us all. He would never even consider doing that. Bruce would never think of that option. Some just have higher character than others.

So if someone is sick and is broke, is it ok for him or her to steal medicine out of the local Walgreens?

More talented than us here, that's why we don't pull down seven figures a year. That argument and that equation has to be factored into this. The fact that he "faked" his art, faked his "talent" speaks volumes to me.

He was one of the kindest, most sincere gentlemen with whom I have ever spent time. As a seven year old running around the Cologne opera house, I stumbled across him warming up in his dressing room before a performance of Die Fledermaus. He hadn't met me yet, and had no idea who I was, yet he took time to help me get back to my parents, and then took me on a tour of the stage and introduced me to his fellow performers (most of whom I already knew). A couple of weeks later, he took the ENTIRE cast out for dinner after the final performance - at an exotic restaurant. He footed the entire bill, bounced little kids on his knees, told stories, and signed autographs well into the night.
That is all I have to say about that.

I doubt that-I heard he was wearing underwear.
