Well, that's not that for me.
Everyone is who they are, but that's no reason not to hold them accountable, if appropriate. There was one band that told a tale of meeting Christine and she walked up to them and said they looked gay (or some kind of british equivalent, like ponces, or something) and I thought that was awful. They said they were crushed by her comment. They were strangers to her, not one of her buddies who would have thought it a joke. I mean, I don't know why you would walk up to someone you don't know and say something hurtful to them. I admire Christine as much as I always did, but I found fault with that.
Ted Kennedy: couldn't love him more than I do, but I don't sit there thinking I should just accept the fact that he was making phone calls to keep himself out of trouble when a girl was DYING. I
do hold that against him.
