Why don't you guys take a moment and run through the ample threads on his website where he consistently defends the rights of everyone from minorities to homosexuals and see if you still have anything to say. Talk about a rush to judgment, you're all hurrying off to make a big deal about something that was said in jest and honestly in tribute (for lack of a better term) to Oleta Adams for the soulfulness and honesty she brought to 'Woman in Chains' - the song in question.

It's obvious you don't know anything about him, and you're just siding with her - with so many other people you're taking this completely out of proportion.

You want to go off about stereo-typing and racism and all that? There are infinitely bigger "targets" out there who actually ARE stereo-typing and being racist and being like "douchebags". It's not hard to find them.

Phenomenal. Truly.
