I for one (and I know I’m not the only one) thoroughly respect Universal honcho Ron Meyer‘s decision in late December 2004 to drive out to a prison in Taft, California, in order to visit wiretapper Anthony Pellicano, who was incarcerated there. Nobody loves you when you’re down and out, and you can double or triple that if you’re behind bars. So in my view guys who visit you in the slammer (especially during the Chistmas holidays) are good hombres . Obviously Meyer’s visits implies this or that, but let’s take a second and acknowledge what loyalty is all about .
