I don't know who Jann Wenner is (he must be one of those idiots like David
Letterman and Howard Stern who Australians frankly don't give a shit about)
so I can't comment on this. Thought this would stir up a big irrelevant can
of beans tho.

The adage I've always lived my life by is one you'll find in Harper Lee's
`To Kill A Mockingbird'. Go walk a mile in another man's shoes. And don't
look at things so simplistically. We all have pressures of different
natures. The pressures of a celebrity must at least equal if not surpass
those of `regular' people. So much so that a certain author I've heard of
has barely retreated out of his house in some 30 years.
