''Even as we speak, he's still out there, getting up to no good. He's done nothing good with his life -- he's arrested time and time and again. I hear that he's trying to put a book out to trash us. He makes so much money from all those Village People royalties, but he can't leave us alone. He's just a bitter old man.... Of course it makes me sad... It would have been great if we could have got on together, but that wasn't to be. All he does is talk badly of us. That is, when he's not in prison.''

Felipe Rose, the original Indian from the Village People speaking about the original front-man, singing Cop, Victor Wilis, with whom the still-active, mostly gay band members have developed an ongoing rift. The Village People are celebrating 30 years of recording and touring, and Rose adds that even though they're not getting younger, if there's an audience, they will continue to play. (Independent.ie)
