By the way, I've just learned that an "average" Bar Mitzvah costs about $40,000 - this is a REALLY big deal - so it's not "out of line" for someone this wealthy, who earns his living by keeping our soldiers safe (he makes bullet-proof vests), to spend this much on it. Just like Stevie, he works hard for his money.
Oh, lord... you are clueless.

Pfffffffffffffft! Unfortunately, I'd have to agree with you. Poor Patti, she rocks though, ain't no doubt about that.

Oh yeah, I almost failed to mention this: Steven Tyler is an idiot .

As I said in an earlier thread about this, it really doesn't bother me on the artist side of it (and I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Don Henley's entire fee went to one of his charity foundations). The dad who held the party is the one who makes me sick. Ghost Tracker, do some research on this guy and the bullet proof vests he provides for the military. Then come back and tell us if you think he's such a nice guy.

Interestingly, the vests have not failed in the field and the numbers recalled are mostly slight in comparison to the overall number out there - to wit:

Military recalls 18,000 DHB vests
Nov. 18 2005 -- 4:09:14 PM EST

by CLAUDE SOLNIK

WESTBURY - The Army and Marine Corps have recalled about 18,000 bullet-resistant vests produced by DHB Industries' Point Blank Body Armor Inc. subsidiary, according to wire reports.

Reuters said that the Army and Marine Corps announced the recall on Thursday. The Army recalled 8,083 vests out of a total of 873,000 it has used in the field. The Marine Corp recalled 10,342 out of about 191,000 being used.

DHB did not return two calls to its offices seeking comment about this recall. The Marines already recalled 5,000 vests made by Point Blank in May, Reuters said.

The wire service indicated that the military said vests were being recalled because they fell short of specifications set for the equipment.

But Reuters said the military said the vests were not believed to have put soldiers in danger, since its own threshold for strength is higher than they are expected to require in the field.

DHB Industries on Tuesday said it had received a new order for $30.1 million from the U.S. Army for additional vests. Shares of DHB slipped 7 percent in midday trading to $3.63 on the news of the recall.

So, DHB is not that bad

So, I'm thinking -- how do you top this when his daughter gets married?
Maybe the Stones will still be around then. Or at least Keith Richards, for sure...... LOL!

From Steve Martin, 1983:

"OHHHH, so it's a PROFIT thing!!! "
WELL SAID!

What a 7 alarm trainwreck. All of my suspicions are confirmed. God Bless America.
