I know, who cares really. I was just suprised they booked him under his stage name. I thought they usually used the persons real name. Is this a way for the cops to draw attention to this case?

That's up there with Dick Thickins, Hung Judi or Bif Strokinoff.
It's bad either way.
If it makes you feel better..........Quite often the famous person is a scum bag who should burn in hell!
I'm well aware of the fact that men have been abusing women for a long time and getting away with it. It still happens to this day. The statistics on rape are mind boggling and make you want to puke at the state of humanity.
I'm not saying the woman's claim doesn't deserve an investigation. I'm just saying that a large number of women claim that a musician got them pregnant or that they were raped, when in reality it was a stupid musician and a stupid goupie having stupid sex.
I love quite a few 80s musicians, but there is nothing redeeming about Poison. That shit was some of the most contrived music of the decade.
Right?
