blame it on "disco," cop from the village people, but we know better...

Milli Vanilli tried this one too, except in their case they tried to 'blame it on the rain, yeah, yeah.' Obviously that didn't work and one guy died (Hanz) and the other guy (Franz) has to live with the fact that he was in a lip-syncing, dreadlock-swaying gay pop group that won a Grammy, but then had it taken away because they were singing karaoke the whole time (just like Britney Spears and Ashlee Simpson these days. if only Milli Vanilli had some hits in the late 90s-early 2000s, they would have gone platnium. well, maybe not). Why does the cop from the Village People think that he could get away with his "disco" excuse? I'm guessing he never heeded the call of the "YMCA" motto- "Young man! Get your pot off the shelf!"

[pop bitch.com] reported back in October that Victor Willis, the "cop" in Village People, was on the run
from the law in California. Well, Victor was caught and has gone up against the beak.
Victor pleaded no contest to charges of possessing cocaine, crack and a loaded gun when stopped by traffic police. And for giving the police a false name and then going on the run for six months. He faces either a spell in rehab or two years in jail when he's sentenced on 1st September. The cop says he's now sober, for the first time in 25 years, and blames everything on "the excesses of the disco era that many artists like me found difficult to shake almost 30 years later." Still, it's not all bad. Victor's got a book deal and plans to tour as the cop next summer, if he's not in the big house getting bummed in the showers.

what a bad excuse. blaming it on "the disco era" 30 years later. he had ample time to "shake" his habits and "get his pot off the shelf" (or, coke off the shelf!)
