Bauhaus 2013 Tour - Or Not

[slappy]

It's hilarious that people seem most upset about the fact that he was driving a Subaru. I guess they were expecting that he'd be driving something out of Road Warrior or Christine. Or that he'd just turn into a vampire bat and fly off to get where he needs to. That's the danger of being a singer who is perceived to be like a cartoon villain. When people find out that you actually take your coffee with cream it's such a letdown.

"Peter has been released on zero bail and a statement will be made shortly. In the meantime thank you to everyone for all your kind words and wishes."

No other details as of yet. Bodes well for the tour, I guess. At least, I hope so.

More on the story.

Pretty much a rehash of the earlier story but does contain new info.

Very surprised he didn't have to put up any bail money. Can't help but wonder if dear father-in-law pulled a few strings.

Interesting note: Way back in the early '80s I knew a girl in Lancaster who was friends with the girl he married. Her father was a judge. Wonder if he's still married to the same woman and how that relationship is going and if said father-in-law will intervene?

Statement - No disruption to tour

Statement - No disruption to tour

it is pretty bad when you get a hit and run while on drugs and they lower the charges. 

[i am gay and i like cats]

let me guess . . . youve never heard of lindsay lohan either.

I realize what it looks like for Peter, but whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Jeez you goths are cynical.

[i am gay and i like cats]

bearman . . . you do realize this is america.  "innocent until guilty"? 

oh thats a good one.

Money talks. The lawyer probably presented a case about the financial impact on others dependent on Peter doing the tour.

Personally, I'm not making a judgement on whether his personal outcome was fair or not because we all know the law too often is based on who can and will pay rather than what is fair. Also, only know what's been in print and that too can be slanted in either direction.

I just know that the man's image of cool has been greatly damaged with those photos.

He didn't pay anything... people have a right to make a livelihood and not be jailed for these kind of charges ....it is a charge not a finding of fact!


I think the press will likely help him... more press.. and lets face it in rock "stars" this kind of behavior is not that uncommon.... and peter murphy in the news before a big US tour i think will help his ticket sales..
