You're right.
I'm familiar with Buddha. What I'm saying is that Dirt respected BM, so they should have had him drive Dirty anyplace other than where there was somebody performing that night.
Distract him with women, anything
I saw a doc. about what turned out to be the last full roster Wu performance. Think it was an early Rock the Bells show. At the time, the problem wasn't keeping him off stage, it was BEGGING and PLEADING for him to show up, so the fans could see the full lineup.
If I recall, Buddha was one of the people they called and they were able to get him there at the 11th hour. He sat on stage the whole show , zooted out of his mind, but promoter delivered what he said.
