"That's just stupid, you're looking at it pretty wrong. Look at the guy, they knew what they were getting into. The dude wanted to shock everyone, and now he does and it's a bad thing?"
"That was 25 years ago... A lot has changed since then, and who knows what else has been done over those 25 plus?"
"Bullshit, he should embrace it all. How many chick fans would line up for that treatment? That man is what many aspire to be, a real rock star. If she didn't like it, leave."
"Yeah, I'm going to go now."
