I attended the March 11 show in IU. It was quite an event.
Elvis and the Attractions blasted through what was supposed to be a 90 minute set in 70 minutes. I've recently read an interview with Mr. Declan McManus who stated that they were so coked up…

But those of you who actually know me know that this is merely a smokescreen for a lifetime of subversive activity.
What bands are you or have you been in?
Nazgul, The Last Chance Band, Agent, Educated Guess, Champagne Ave. (with Govenor Davis) New Ultimatum. (And, oh yes, there was that sorry incident with Kiss II) Proud to have been associated with the Brads & anything John Scot Sheets produced back in bad/good old daze.
I remember that Earth Day 82 well. The EeeE, from Detroit, stole the show, at least from my point of view. Weren't the Zero Boys meant to be there as well, but had some car trouble or some complications?
Man, I'd love to hear whatever you can get from the tapes made that day... Let me know if you ever get it worked out.... Oh, did you really mean to say it was recorded at 1.5 ips? Or was it 7.5 ips? I remember them playing "Reagan Is A Fascist." Was there tape left to catch it?
Speaking of which, been to the old Icarian colony... and their cemetery at New Harmony, Indiana. No tomb stones. Eerie. Just ghosts in a field surrounded by a wall... and the tombstones of the 'none' Icarian 19th century villaers in the street outside the wall.
Hey there old salt! Bob, you're spirit of "independent journalism" from way back in the day was (and still is) a huge inspiration... hope all is well with you and yours! -Michael Newell (aka Suade)
Hi Bob. I would love to hear the demo tape by TheEEEE remember that? It had a song called Reagan Is A Fascist. I tried googling them once but probably misspelled it. What is on the Earthday tape?
Greetings. Back from a sailing voyage to Mexico. Montezuma is exacting his revenge on my White Boy gastrointestinal system. I'll go an take a look at the Icarian posts and, like Arhnhold, I'll be back.
Hey bob! Scott Aplegate mentioned The Icararian in a post, then deleted it. Lloyd the Socialist is mentioned briefly in Hello Muncie. I am trying to remember lots of things, wanna help?
Andy, yeah, I know what you're saying...the Lemonheads then instantly faded into multi-platinum obscurity. That's such a great perspective when most people have no idea the band even existed pre-1992.
If anyone bothering to read this hasn't heard t…
I'm not crazy about Michael Jackson or modern-day indie rock, but I will sing the SHIT out of some prime Manilow.
Burd, you nailed me.
I write the songs that make the whole wooooorld siiiing....
ahhhh Bullet Lavolta,their 1st 12" almost bordered on being the new Jerry`s Kids !!! Then they hit the UK with the Lemonheads & they both fell away.....those were the days lol
What gets me is people forget that punk/hardcore was NOT a private party…

Burd, I would never accuse you of being shy about speaking your mind. And I doubt anyone would have thought me anything but a raging snob from way back. And with the anti-Manilow snobbery of the post below, we continue to have plenty in common. FTR:…
John, it didn't seem like good natured to me when I went back and looked. It reeked of pretentious snobbery. Haughtiness. The funny thing is; I'd probably step up and say something if someone was doing it to you. Incidently, there are all sorts of t…
