@ehBeth,
I found this tet on the Internet although I don't know it is the same with that in my mind:
I don't think that's what people are saying here and some are being pretty obtuse about it. What Ashland is saying that it could happen with or without him being in a band. The fact that he was in a band and that band was popular and they idolized him obviously made it easier, and even more damning. Not sure
how what me and Ashland are saying is opposed to what you are saying
