You can't say that hosting a performance at the biggest place in NYC that night, unauthorized or not, wasn't a good move, but in the end the cops had the last laugh.
Sucks that this happened. If any of you have heard "Katrina Clap" it's an awesome song about the government's responce to Hurricane Katrina. Wasn't the smartest move but oh well. It sucks that he complied with everything and the police still arrested him.
