i still stand by my "gig to pretentiousness" ratio as it were, there's 2 sides to every coin. Sure he's obviously acted like a dick in that instance, but people go on like its some amazing techno myth. Basically, 2 guys had a fight in a club. Simple. As you guys say yourself he's no biggie just because of his name, so all the comments in this thread basically fuel the fire. It's all promotion for Richie good or bad, not that he needs it, or cares either i doubt, im sure he's more than over a little fight in a club that was caused when he was obviously extremely drunk, and as you say who doesnt act a fool when drunk? Doesnt make them a bad person.

i wouldnt be arsed if Hawtin threw a record of mine into the crowd, i'd just get another copy out of my bag. Certainly wouldnt resort to violence, how petty would that be!
