I hope he does jail time. And I hope someone tries to stick a tongue down
*his* throat and bites *his* neck and squeezes *his* buttocks while he's
there. And I hope Jon forces him to recreate those scenes during the "True
You, True Me" tour. I really do.
Igor Khoroshev has had it much too easy here. He's been a cocky bastard
ever since Jon first invited him into Yes. He's talented, but he's also a
flaunter and squanderer of those talents. If these were the good ol' days,
Igor would be put in front of a firing squad (like Fydor Dostoevsky, but
without the 'just kidding' part).
Igor has a long way to go to make his garden beautiful. I vote for jail
time.

Look man, this is America. NOBODY does jail time! Despite the bad rap
the US gets about the death penalty, jail is good deal in the US. And if
you're a celebrity? You get the country club, dude. Igor's gonna get a
fine, suspended sentence, and community service. Beyond Mgmt might even
have a fund for stuff like this. Like Relayer says, mixing black or
white Russians would be a service to the community.
> And I hope Jon forces him to recreate those scenes during the "True

Actually, going on tour to promote "True You" might constitute the
"community service" portion of his sentencing!!! ;>
What worries me more in America is any potential civil action resulting
from his behavior. $5,000 fine for criminal misdemeanors, but $500,000
in a civil court for causing "anxiety" to some hillbilly bimbo. The Deep
pockets? Yes Mgmt of course! Do I hear the world "settlement?"
Dave R.
LOL at the hillbilly bimbo comment. I just had a vision of Igor hitting
on a toothless, dirty-haired security woman.
Actually, American civil law would place no liability on Yes
management for this incident. If Igor had injured these women
through some sort of negligence, then maybe that negligence would
be imputed upwards to the band level or management level.
However, there is no such imputation of responsibility for
intentional criminal acts.
Think of it this way. If you owned a business, and if you sent
one of your employees or partners to the bank to deposit the
daily proceeds, and if they decided instead to rob the bank,
should you be made liable to the bank for their personal,
intentional wrongdoing? Over the years the law has evolved to
absolve employers on the basis that there is virtually nothing
they could ever do to sway the criminal mind. Negligence is a
different matter, since employers can usually do something to
make their operations safer. There are, of course, exceptions to
this general rule, usually in the area of failing to investigate
the past criminal propensities of an employee prior to hiring,
which is viewed as a form of employer negligence.

Oh you don't know the whole story.
Igor was singing "I am a camera" to help him remember his keyboard parts on
that song slated for the next tour. The security guard knew his English isn't
all that great and she thought it was her duty to frisk him to try to find
the camera.
Igor was just exercising self defense, that's all.

I hear you. Maybe if we stop warehousing people who smoke, eat, or sniff

criminal acts, IMO. Not trying to over simplify, but it might be a good

Igor doing jail time won't bring Rick back, but Id settle for Adam in a New

I would need a detailed attorney-client interview, requiring me
to travel with the band until August 4.
Wait a minute! They have probably already spent their entire
tour advances. Igor will have to be content with Court appointed
counsel for the indigent. After all, he is probably homeless as
of right now, too.

Assuming that what was reported IS true.
I think he owes both of those women a public apology. Of course he owes his

his fans.

How true, how true.
It is entirely possible that there may have been some mutual flirting. And
these security guards saw an opportunity for a bigger paycheck. Hey maybe if
it goes to court we'll see Igor on Court TV.
Yep... Igor's life, even before Yes, had been a Cakewalk. (!)

And *that* I certainly disagree with. If this incident harms the band in
the long term, then maybe he should apologize to them. I don't see how he
owns the fans anything except top keyboard performance.
(Tbe following analogy may be stretched a bit, but would you say Hugh Grant
owed *his* fans an apology after the fling with the call girl? In the first
place, it's none of the fans' business, both cases.)
One incident like this is not enough to can him -- Yes isn't mainstream
corporate America, you know.

>And *that* I certainly disagree with. If this incident harms the band in

Of course he doesn't owe his fans an apology. I was simply stating that if he
were concerned about his image, with his fans, an acknowledgment and apology
for his mistake (if he truly did wrong these women-which we don't know for
sure) would show him to be a man who is capable of recognizing his mistakes.
And could put a very positive spin on the situation.
On the other hand, if there is more to the story and Igor really did no wrong.
Then he should state so.
But, if he did do this, and feels that there is nothing wrong with treating
women like this.
Then his best course of action would be to continue to be an excellent
musician, and not say a word.
Don't know, haven't heard it. (Actually, I'll have that album in just a few
days.) Promotion opportunity? In the Welch interview, he certainly isn't
hiding the fact that it was all rather new to him, and that it's not his
favorite kind of music.

The life philosophy of irrational, careless excesses, of
unthoughtful extremes, as hinted by Rob Allen, are true, but maybe not
representative for Eastern Europe, as might not be the guys whom he met.
Many ways I was made to go on in my education and growing up
there seem nowadays inappropriate to me. I had a hard time accepting
there what I experienced there 5 years after I finally left, in the
year++ that I spent and worked there.
I was shocked reading about Igor's behaviour. His being
compared to Vlad the Impaler is particularly disturbing. There are at
least geographical and historical errors in that comparison. Why
wasn't he compared to Gregory Ephimovich Rasputin, or with Ivan the
Terrible, for instance?
I had completely forgotten about the interview in which he had
been using the F-word in excess. I remember I had been commenting
something to the extent of 'too bad one often adopts the lowest layers
of a language completely new to one'.
Eastern Europeans lives are shitty in that one often faces
day-to-day problems usually not encountered westwards, where people
care more for the well done work, for the quality of the offered
services, for the respect of the customer, and so on. Otherwise, they
are just human lives as any other human lives.

Well, the parts he 'fessed to, anyway. And he did lose a family somewhere

It's coming out in dribs and drabs, decades after the fact, that Yesmen
weren't quite the ascetics they were made out to be in the press...then.
For example, in a recent Record Collector, Steve Howe related tales of

I believe this more had to do with personality conflicts with the rest of the group
(and maybe with the fact that Moraz was the only one in Yes who was not British).
But the Yesmen seem to like Igor.

Kaye, according to many reports, was quite the wild man during the early days of
the group. Bruford once described rooming with him on the road as "awful".
In a (slightly) related note, I've always wondered if the conflict between Anderson
and Squire in the late 80's was related to Squire's behaviour at the time...
