all this because someone thought we should know what he thought about people who ride the subway.
I'd be more sympathetic if he'd displayed any empathy for the folks he bashed in his rant...either people w/ a ghastly disease OR people who may very well have gone through 10 shades of bureaucratic hell b/c they decided, most likely CAREFULLY, that they'd like to live where we enjoy watching baseball.

i'm more sympathetic towards the situation than rocker himself. i'm sure he was just as ignorant 10 years ago as he is today, but nobody cared when nobody knew. stupid is as stupid does.
I agree mbuser......it's a twisted vicious cycle.....but I do find humor in the fact the man is proudly ignorant.
He's the type of former star I want to have one insane night in Vegas only to wake up and find out he bet, and lost, his fortune on a hand of blackjack and then got an STD from a Vegas whore....welcome back to the real world!

That is actually a very good point. I guess this is a case where words speak louder than actions.
