From The News Desk



This is an interesting blip from the entertainment world. Apparently one Mike Gordon aka "Cactus", bassist for the band Phish, was arrested backstage after a Dead show. He allegedly attempted to take some 'art photos' of a nine-year-old girl in a secluded area. He may be charged with endangering the welfare of a minor.

Here's the interesting part of the story: law enforcement sources have indentified the girl's father as a leader of the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club. And while judging by the story the child's parents have no desire to file charges, Gordon did not quite get off without punishment...

The DA's office says the evidence is being evaluated. Regardless of whether Gordon has to face a judge next month, law-enforcement sources say unofficial justice was already delivered. The Hell's Angels, who detained Gordon for police, were not, the sources say, gentle with sensitive areas of the rock star's body.

And I can't say that I feel the least bit sorry for him.
