Murray Acton and Matt Fiorito are arrested in Ohio. Blind Marc was not with them -- it remains to be seen if they had a drummer who was travelling with them who also got arrested. They were stuck in jail through the long weekend but there should be news tomorrow. Many of my friends are upset and concerned. I am also upset and concerned. I hope they're okay.
Also, I'm bummed that Graham Greene died. He was only 73! This no longer seems remotely old to me.
My wife and I had a holiday, but we're back home and back to work tomorrow. I got my King Missile album signed, thanks to Stephen Hamm, but didn't get to see them. And I got stung by a wasp.
September is show-rich:
Scammers and Death Sentence Sept. 5
Neil Young Sept 6.
Indigenous reggae band Spiritual Warriors open for Loverboy at some festival in New West Sept. 7. Then Daddy Issues and Savage Henry in the evening (maybe).
Neil Young again Sept 8.
Steve Shelley, Bill Orcutt and Ethan Miller, September 9th.
Mudhoney September 13
Descendents Sept 14
Greg Norton/ Scott Reynolds/ SLIP~ons Sept 20
Sparks Sept 23
Maybe I'll see some of you there... more to come...
