THANK YOU DUCK BAKER. You are braver than me. Though I TEND to agree with you, I can't reveal my identity because I have worked closely with Bob Brozman on a few occasions, and was scheduled to work with him again shortly... And must continue even now to work with extremely interested parties whom I know extremely well and who knew him extremely well. More than most, I can safely say. And for now, these interested parties refuse to believe or accept any part of these accusations in any way and are waiting for something concrete before making judgments of any kind. Again, I have worked with Bob personally, and had the opportunity to spend a few occasions with Bob and his wife at dinner and in other social situations. I really like Haley, and have wept bitter tears for her since this has happened. I have read every single post with great interest since this thread started and I discovered these comments. I have personally met Duck Baker, though only on one occasion, and spent an afternoon talking and getting to know him well enough to trust that if he says he has made contacts, phone calls and inquiries and knows a bit of inside information, it most likely is the truth.

I can confirm that during a workshop which I personally attended, he cracked sexually laced jokes continuously.

This incredible tragedy has spawned me to read about pedophilia. What strikes me the most about this story (IF IT'S TRUE) is how such a musical genius, a hero of the live musical world, a person that brought so much delight and happiness to so many audiences and seemed to live such a magical life from the outside was such a tortured, lonely and sick individual. Do not get me wrong. I FEEL FIRST AND MOST DEEPLY FOR HIS (possible) VICTIMS. But his story goes beyond anything similar. The kind of respect and admiration Bob had from the musical world is rare, nothing to compare to that of Michael Jackson, as Bob was a far better musician. Why such an intelligent man did not seek out help absolutely amazes me. Why he was not able to process what he was doing in his mind and acknowledge it in his conscious mind is incomprehensible. Why someone with the economic resources he had access to never thought he could be treated and cured and lead a somewhat normal life. I think this raises several questions. What causes pedophilia? Are pedophiles sociopaths? Is it because they were abused themselves? How can a wife and close family not know? How could so many of his colleagues not know? This is a link to a very good article from the Mayo Clinic. Having read quickly I'd like to say it appears that the scientific community agrees that pedophiles are    SICK PEOPLE.    MENTALLY ILL.    This is mental illness, people. And IT DOES NOT JUSTIFY IT, but it can explain it. Pedophiles often have more than one psychological/psychiatric illness (see pages 5-8 in the below article)

This is too big and too important. All you need to do is google long and short term effects of sexual abuse pedophiles. Yes, I will wait for something more tangible before pronouncing myself, out of respect for family and friends, but the point I want to make here is that Bob may have produced many victims, but rather than just demonizing him, see the man in his sickness. That does NOT take way his responsibility for his actions, of course.

If the allegations are true, Bob's life will become an emblematic story for understanding the genius musician and pedophile mind. God bless his poor victims, unknowing family members friends and fans... and him, in those last few seconds of of his consciousness, knowing he was taking his life and what it all meant, feeling what he must have been feeling, and I mean in every way.
