Someone must've showed him a bootleg of IN MY LIFE.
But seriously, this is horrible. It didn't sound like things were going his way recently.

Where are the bootlegs for In My Life? If I can stand through the bootleg of Dance of the Vampires, I can surely stand it. Which is worse?
But 82 counts of sexual abuse... DAMN.

Unless, of course, he's roasting in another place.
