[kj] What about Benny?

[Alexander Smith]

Well, let's also remember that Michael didn't tow the line in the VH  
brothers' war against Sammy Hagar. Michael's absence from the current  
incarnation could also be perceived as punishment for not falling in  
step (he toured with Hagar not too long back).

It wasn't just simply that Eddie wanted his acne-slathered newt in the  
band.

The people who get ripped off = the fans.
