7 years for Drabinsky. Somehow this feels harsh. I'm sure many will disagree.
There are big busted woman
Who bake on the beaches
With oil on their bellies
Over the wall
Over the wall
There is rum from the cane fields
Over the wall
Over the wall
There is sun on my taxi
And cakes in my oven
And fish in my netting
And grease in my barnyard
And big busted woman
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
And I wonder if I'll ever see them again

A seven year sentence is harsh for a $50 million fraud? I don't think so.
This man seriously hurt a friend of mine. He acted maliciously with my poor friend and everyone told me at the time "That's just Garth." Well, this is Garth. A convicted and sentenced fraud artist; a man who ravaged several entertainment industries, leaving numerous victims in his wake. He screwed people. He stole. He lied. He cheated. And now, he'll do some richly-deserved time for it. I for one could not be happier.
The sentencing shocked me, I'm not saying that they didn't deserve it as they most certainly did. After Madoff, there are going to be many "examples" in jail who would've played the college circuits not too long ago.
Madoff stole from the rich. Drabinsky had numerous victims who were blue collar, as well as the rich. He ran a theater festival that went tits up and bankrupted many, many small suppliers. He was kicked out of his job with Cineplex Odeon for questionable practices and then from LiveEnt. See a pattern here? This guy only ploughs his fields in one direction.
I guess this means there won't be a third season of Garth's Triple Sensation (the reality/documentary style Canadian TV show to find a "triple threat" performer). It is one of the best produced competition shows I have ever seen.
