9. Ace is a wonderful person, talented singer, and great guy. When i met him for the first time he was so nice and very patient. i think you were very cruel here to him.

10. Hey, being in the likes of those three bands isn't shabby at all actually. They pull in some money these days in the world of brain dead radio.

12. Thank You, TMZ, for giving Ace even more free publicity. Like you said, a gig is a gig, but he is still getting his name out there. Writing on a debut album with the likes of Desmond Child... not too shabby. If this is all the "dirt" that you can pull up on him, that's kinda sad on your part.
