Also when he got arrested for threatening people with a fake gun in a nightclub, this is much like "Stand and Deliver" except that he should've thrown the gun aside and then produced a mirror. Maybe he was going to do that but the police came too soon?

I used to think eyepatches were cool, now I think of them as too conservative and Republican. Kudos to Adam for trying to shed these fabric symbols of oppression.

Doesn't this really belong on ILM?
Poor Adam. What's next, I wonder. Will he be found having broken into a dog kennel, maniacally scrubbing their pelts ala "Dog Eat Dog"?

"TROUBLED pop star Adam Ant wass led away by cops yesterday after going berserk and stripping off in a cafe.
Adam, 49, allegedly hurled stones at neighbours' homes, smashing several windows, before heading to the nearby Curly Dog cafe.
Worried diners told how he ranted about children before pulling off his trousers and going into the basement, saying he wanted to sleep.
Adam, who has a history of mental illness, curled up in a ball and
refused to come out when cops arrived.
But actress Samantha Janus, 30 - a close pal - dashed to the scene and
talked him into giving himself up.
Staff later found an entire roll of kitchen paper in the basement
covered in barely legible scribblings.
On one sheet Adam, real name Stuart Goddard, had written "Horatio Lord
Nelson was his guide".
He also left behind half a dozen carrier bags stuffed with old
newspapers and folded cardboard boxes he had taken into the cafe.
Goddard, star of eighties group Adam And The Ants, was arrested for
criminal damage and taken away with a blanket wrapped round his waist.
One diner at the Curly Dog in Primrose Hill, North London, said: "He was very stressed but not aggressive. You could tell he really wasn't well at all."
Another told how women in the cafe screamed when Goddard pulled off his trousers.
It later emerged the star was involved in a disturbance at another cafe half a mile away on Tuesday. Last year he was admitted to a psychiatric unit after going berserk in a pub."
