- About Me
- No, I am not THAT Robert Smith so let's get that out of the way. I am an ex-Hoosier now proud Chicagoean. Went to Purdue but know the Muncie "No Bar" crowd & some of the Bloomington folks from that era. I still play music in original bands despite 2 kids (5 yr-old girl & 3-mth old boy). Still record in my basement—just much more sophisticated now than the old 4 track days... Do advertising to pay the bills.

- You had better be trying to scare me and not booing me for my lackluster performance.

Good to see & hear from you. Congrats on the kiddos, bet you're having fun with them. Connor is 13 and Maille is 11 now...I'm going to blink and they're going to be gone. Can't believe how quickly it goes.
Hopefully the next time I wander through Chicago we can get caught up (and if the stars align correctly, Patrick will actually be in town instead of some foreign country).

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…
Ha! I knew it.
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…
John I will indeed buy you a drink but you will first have to drive the van of screaming kids northward!
