Two months from now:

Moon Police Lt. Rex Comet yesterday confirmed an investigation involving Matt Bush and allegations of assaultive behavior and public intoxication. A witness, who requested his name not be used because of the ongoing police investigation, said Bush was drunk, threw a golf club into a crater and picked up and threw E.T.

Bush also yelled "I’m Matt F**king Bush," and "Fuck the Moon," before driving over a crater in his Lunar Roving Vehicle as he was leaving the area, according to the witness.
