Chris, you don't know Allen, and this kind of thing is borders on
libel.  I know Allen and he is a very friendly guy.  He likes fans
that he thinks are likable has been very helpful to me and other fans.
He clearly likes Kate Bush's music, but you are too prejudiced to see
this.  When I went to England in December of 1985, he was also
visiting England and was kind enough to give me advice on where to
stay.  He also showed me how to scower the London record stores for
Kate Bush collectibles and showed me which stores to go to.  He did
this at his loss because with me nabbing many of the Kate Bush
collectibles there were fewer for him.

You have now seen it.

The idea that someone would travel from DC to NYC and wait all day in
line in the cold to get an autograph or two that he could then sell
for a total of maybe $100 for "financial gain" is ludicrous, and you
know it.
