I have an equal opportunity disdain for male and female "musicians" who phone in performances and are too cheap to pay their back-up musicians. It's just that the last two high profile instances of both happen to be women. Go through my posts and you will find plenty of male musician bashing.

Did he actually do this? Were they musicians or just randoms plucked out of the crowd? If the former, than yeah, as rich as he is, he should be ashamed for not paying them.
