The Hell's Angels, who detained Gordon for police, were not, the sources say, gentle with sensitive areas of the rock star's body.

The Law enforcement sources identify the girl's father as a leader of the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club.....

The Hell's Angels, who detained Gordon for police, were not, the sources say, gentle with sensitive areas of the rock star's body.

From the "it seemed like a good idea at the time" files...

I'll bet, next time, he asks, "What does your daddy do for a living?"

It was all a mistake. He thought she was 10.

""The area is actually like a work area for state employees who operate boats out of that area," said Maj. Richard O'Donnell, of the New York State Park Police."

Looks like the Major was once a high-ranking official of the Department of Redundancy Department.

Please be wary of sensationalistic journalism. Take it for what it's worth, but here's an account of what happened from someone who claims to know a security officer at Jones Beach. Pardon the horrible grammar and punctuation...

mike was giving everyone under the sun (from adults to kids) rides on his IT segway....silly lil scooter.....the mother of the 9 yr old allowed this to happen.....this "Secluded Boathouse", is neither secluded or a boathouse..there was two normal jones beach secuirty guards there...in case people wanna sneak into the show...(secret entrance).... mike was just taking pictures of the girl on his segway....not good judement , but nothing to get crazy about... ...after ten minutes the girls mother starts freakin out..."were's my daughter"....(mind you the mother was induced with something, eyes bulging, lip biting..typical white trash mom)....mother calls her husband, a hells angel....ten minutes later there are 5 angels making there way through security.....mike is confronted...grabbed by the thoat and on his knees getting kicked at......the VIP security guards got in the middle and explained that mike was a celeb, and was a film maker.....the funniest part is this...the angels wanted to break his segway, so the one secuirty guard put it in his car and its been sitting in wantagh for the last week and a half.....after all of this the daughter explained nothing happended and that was that...long story short...bad judgement, unlucky for mike the girls dad was a druggy/hells angel, a quick rush to judgement, few kicks to the nizzuts,,,,"my bad"....move on....

He was lucky. I would have just killed him.

[cubreporter]

What reason would explain ever him and the young child being in that remote area just by itself but...to be taking photos? This AINT right folks! This AINT normal folks.

Read post #8 above. Methinks we are the victims of sensationist journalism.

To all those who don't know who Phish is, they're an esoteric band, with a huge following and their music is definitely an acquired taste, better understood while on LSD or psylocibin mushrooms.

Not that I'm condoning the use of such hallucinogenic drugs, because I am not.

...their music is definitely an acquired taste, better understood while on LSD or psylocibin mushrooms.

Kind of like the Bee Gees?

[jmc813]

better understood while on LSD or psylocibin mushrooms.

Very unfair generalization, though I will agree tht their style is an aquired taste. They tend to have very LONG songs, so in this day and age of 3-minute pop hits, many listeners do not have the attention span or patience to give them a fair chance.

The tires are the things on your Segway
That make contact with the road

The Segway is the thing on the road
That takes you back to your abode

LOL!

[D. Brian Carter]

I'd hardly call them mediocre. Maybe they're not your taste, but all the members of the band are highly accomplished songwriters, highly proficient on multiple instruments, and not the typical three-chord 4/4 formula band that has come to dominant the American rock scene.

That being said, there is NO way this guy has ANY reason WHATSOEVER to be off in the dark with a 9 year old girl. I don't care what he says the reasons were, I don't care what his parents say, this is absolutely unacceptable and inappropriate behaviour, and there's only a couple of things I can think of he had on his mind in this situation.

Oh man, I think I took too much....

[Revolting cat!]

Give 'im a break, he's just trying to be as degenerate as his role models the Dreadful Grape! The fans luv it!
