It should be noted that will.i.am is actually kind of suited for that position. He attended the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles and designed a very sexy car, the IAMAUTO. The scope of his talents goes far beyond his ability to sing.
Knowing how strict US Customs can be and knowing that Fish and Wildlife also have a say in what wood comes into the States, you have to wonder just what the heck is really going on here. At a minimum, two government agencies thought it was just fine that Gibson bring this wood in from other countries, they paid duty on them (minimum 2.5%) and NOW the feds want to jump in and say this isn't legal? It is obvious that their paperwork was in order when the goods made entry into this country, so what is the problem?
