One time Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr, with the group from inception to midpoint of their fame, hasn’t made the news pages for quite some time. Well, he’s back in the news again: KIRO informs us that he’s been reported to the police for pulling the hood ornament off a man’s car.

While this story has all the indications of “Slow News Day” all over it, I find myself philosophical. Is there really no such thing as bad publicity?
