I'm glad he's ok too. Maybe he could do some tourism promos for New Orleans now... or maybe that would be a bad idea, not sure - along the lines of "I love this town, even if I did get shot in the leg."
Please don't get me wrong. I'm a fan of his too and I think "School Boys in Disgrace" is one of the most underrated albums of all time. But I think what he tried to do was foolish. Risking your life for the contents of a purse isn't worth it. I'm just glad he's all right. But please. If someone steals your purse, wallet, car, or whatever, don't run after him. Run the other way. Hospitals and morgue's are full of people who wish they had done something just a little bit differently yesterday. Life is too short as it is. Be safe. Gene
