Everyone in this land has an opinion about something. Rex Reed is known for having an expert opinion when it comes to film. He also happens to be a music aficionado. His biggest problem is that he prefers to get his music without paying for it.

The well-known pundit and columnist for the New York Observer was arrested for some unbelievably stupid theft behavior. The incident occurred back in 200 at a Tower Records store in New York City.

Reed tried to get away with his theft by paying for a pair of compact discs while attempting to steal three other albums. What was he trying to steal. The three labels he had placed in his pocket were “California Suite” by Torme, Carmen McRae’s “easy to Love” and “Songs from Pete” by Peggy Lee. I have to admit that I never have heard of any of these titles.

This is yet another indicator that television celebrities should not be role models. I am happy to report that since his embarrassing arrest 12 years ago Reed appears to not reverting to his theft behavior.
