From the New York Daily News' Ben Widdicombe, August 8:

"Which troubled, hard-partying Lollapalooza performer cleared out a bathroom over the weekend in Chicago and then smoked what our spy-in-the-stall swears was a crack pipe?"

I cannot fathom what constructive purpose this kind of journalism serves. And secondly, I can't see how anyone who knows the man would characterize James McNew as "troubled".
