Lemme guess - you're trying to make a point?

no I saw the point, after I read the first story, and then decided to type "rapper" into Google News by date to see if there was any more interesting info. on the Silento story. Shockingly dangerous avocation. Especially after being around for 30+ years (There were quite a few sexual abuse allegations as well. I left those out. Very little good news in days)
