Re: (TV) Fwd: FW: ARTHUR LEE FREE AT LAST!

Wow, thanks for the update I am late in getting because I was out of town. I heard he was in jail for something. I had a friend who went to see him play and became a sort of backstage groupie, and finally he invited her up to his hotel and told her he was going to show her his gun (she thought he was speaking metaphorically but I guess it turned out to be a real gun)
