Here's hoping the band doesn't take the Ms. Hamilton angle. I hate to get all serious on a board like this, but I think the demonization of sex workers is a terrible thing - judgmental, insensitive and very often (though fortunately not in any of the remarks I've seen here) sexist. I would regard it as a travesty if a stanford institution took an opportunity to slut-shame somebody on national tv, and I would lose all of the very high amount of respect I currently have for the band. We don't know this woman, we don't know what she is going through with her friends and family after having to admit this, or what she went through before she did it, and it just seems cruel, at best, to focus a brobdingnagian show on making sure the whole world knows just how terrible and disgusting we're supposed to think she is.
