What would you say?!
Performing Regret on the beach with Baywatch?
Singing a song with the England football team?
Dressing up as rockers in the TBTHOG video?
Taking on the responsibility of the Hacienda?
Rock The Shack? 
Thats just a few, but there must be plenty more crazy decisions the band have made down the years - good AND bad 
Hooky coming out of the closet was a bit of a shocker. Barney's subscription to the Sigue Sigue Sputnik fan club came as a bit of a surprise too. And as for Steve and Gillian's starring roles in "Macclesfield Animal Farm, Vol. 7", well I never!!
Glad I'm not that chicken, that's all I can say.
Probably not setting up their own company, which would then have done business with Factory et al, and would have protected a lot of their investments. I hate to think how much they lost through the whims of those with influence !

Does that include the not inconsiderable influence of one Robert Leo Gretton, Tim?!?

Difficult to know where to pitch the reply. Rob did so much positive stuff for them, but some of his plans weren't always based on a sound business footing. Wilson was certainly the biggest culprit in spending their money, but he had some able assistance.

Don't actually mind it to be honest. Thrice in one package was a bit OTT though.:)
The Baywatch bit, probably. Though after watching Taras when it came out, reading some of the interviews with the band at the time, and going to a great show that was largely ignored by an apathetic crowd, things like Barney dancing and whooping was something I didn't really expect. They may have been a bit more jovial overseas, but I didn't get that impression back in the early 80s.
