He’s going from Minnesota to Memphis in tonight’s show.

I don’t remember fully but I’m sure it was the personal stuff that he had a problem with, ‘we’re gone’ etc.
Ya, but you release it all, or none of it. Redact anything and imaginations will run riot.
It seems to me that it was in part at least pilot error, but no one wants to speak ill of the dead.
