No, he deserved to have his ass kicked. I'm willing to bet that he didn't
have any money to speak of ... what's the point of suing him? Normally
I'm not this guy who gets into fights, but I came to see him, you know, and
I didn't expect him to bust my forehead ... I don't know whether he thought
I was spitting on him or whether I threw a beer at him or what .... he
didn't let it go like he should have and he took it out on me ... of course
he didn't expect me to pull him offstage and kick him in the balls which is
what I did. Of course there's this huge impulse for the herd not to be
upset, so I only got a few punches in before someone dragged me off of him
and threw him back up onstage. I didn't get him bleeding but he missed the
rest of the song he was trying to sing .... Someone else from the band came
up to me and asked me was I alright after they played ... I said as long as
I'd put a hurting on HR I was fine .... and get this -- *he laughed*.

And for good measure I went home and found my Bad Brains records, shattered
them, and mailed them to him .... it wasn't like I was going to listen to
them anymore ... hope he got the point. If I were really nasty I might
have sent him the contents of the catbox.
