I haven't had a chance to look at your link, but good grief! You really have to be desperate to go that far. And in answer to you question, no. Nothing is so important that I would jeopardize my well being for it.

I thought this thread was gonna be another Woodstock retrospective. Boy, am I sick of those!

ETA: I read it; interesting piece, though it sounds like they were fishing for a scandal story that isn't really there.

You gotta love this: "Mr. Levine has just graduated into the 95 to 99 class, which he views as an advantage since he is now the kid in the bracket. “It makes you look forward to getting older,” he said."

Be safe. Be kind.
