[quote name="Fussbett"]<a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/369994p-314735c.html" target="bat">http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/369994p-314735c.html</a> [quote cite="ADBRIDGED"]For his daughter's coming-of-age celebration last weekend, multimillionaire Long Island defense contractor David H. Brooks booked two floors of the Rainbow Room... it was garish display of rock 'n' roll idol worship for which the famously irascible CEO of DHB Industries, a Westbury-based manufacturer of bulletproof vests, sent his company jet to retrieve Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry from their Saturday gig in Pittsburgh... in honor of Aerosmith (and the $2 million fee I hear he paid for their appearance), the 50-year-old Brooks changed from a black-leather, metal-studded suit - accessorized with biker-chic necklace chains and diamonds from Chrome Hearts jewelers - into a hot-pink suede version of the same lovely outfit... The party cost an estimated $10 million, including the price of corporate jets to ferry the performers to and from. Also on the bill were The Eagles' Don Henley and Joe Walsh performing with Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks; DJ AM (Nicole Richie's fiance); rap diva Ciara and, sadly perhaps (except that he received an estimated $250,000 for the job), Kenny G blowing on his soprano sax as more than 300 guests strolled and chatted into their pre-dinner cocktails. "Hey, that guy looks like Kenny G," a disbelieving grownup was overheard remarking - though the 150 kids in attendance seemed more impressed by their $1,000 gift bags, complete with digital cameras and the latest video iPod. For his estimated $500,000, I hear that 50 Cent performed only four or five songs - and badly - though he did manage to work in the lyric, "Go shorty, it's your bat miztvah, we gonna party like it's your bat mitzvah." Henley, I hear, was grumpy at the realization that he'd agreed to play a kids' party.[/quote] <img src="http://tinypic.com/i3cidf.jpg"> <img src="http://tinypic.com/i3clk6.jpg"> <img src="http://tinypic.com/i3clz9.jpg"> Wow, imagine how excited the 13 year old girl must've been to see Kenny G, Don Henley, and Aerosmith. She was born when Aerosmith last had a hit song. So from all this was can easily assess this hot pink suede David H Brooks character as a total dicksmack. <a href="http://www.pensitoreview.com/2005/05/11/bill-nelson-vs-chicken-hawks-greedy-military-contractors%E2%80%A6and-tommy-franks/">My instincts are correct!</a>[/quote]
