I’m not a big Public Enemy fan, but even I know that “firing” Flavor Flav from that group is like firing Lassie from the Lassie show.

Oh no! The Flavster was the heart and soul of Pubic Enema. What will become of the lads now that they’ve lost their guiding blight?

Many thanks. Muse Sick N Hour Mess Age is one of the only “rap” albums I love. PE and Run DMC are respected by us metalheads.

the reason why BS has large rallies is free entertainment, food, and beer. Trump gets large numbers of people to go to his rallies to see him.
