"Adam Ant recently stated his intention to release a single to help the New York firefighters."

Help? Not with the profits, surely. Maybe a training video? How to wear a big coat, big boots, a funny hat, etc. I think the adamant one would be good at that sort of thing.

He should have tried to use a mirror, not a bullet or a knife.

Though not definitive by any means, interesting to consider in light of a recent thread.

The singer - real name Stuart Goddard - has been charged with possession of a firearm or imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.

It's a simple test to find out ...

From the "official statement" on his site:

Adam was not carrying a real gun but a replica and the charges hereby laid are not as severe they seem.

Much ado about nothing.
