So the reason Randy California didn't do anything about this is because he "didn't have enough money to sue"? That's odd. It seems that if he had a strong case I'm pretty sure some attorney would have been willing to work on a contingency basis.
If quoted accurately (I have no real reason to believe he wasn't), Keith was a classless shitheel for saying those things. Zep sure does bring out the green-eyed monster in some people.
