The visuals and acting were fine, but the script was so horrible that I actually websurfed the screenwriter afterwards to find out if she might be some ignorant, rock-hating prig from the American Family Association. Instead, she turned out to be some failed rocker-skank who appears to be just as appallingly joyless and unimaginative as the beer-drinkin', cigarette-puffin', tattoo-obsessed layabouts who populated her crap film. The film was so bad that it actually gave me a *headache*, while lasted through this morning. Wow. Just to add a positive note, I'll add that I really enjoyed "High and Low" (Kurosawa, 1963) a few nights earlier.

Amazing.. :) Yeah! Proof positive, again, that The Soft Boys are the greatest rock band of all time. Damn, this set destroys. And to think, for about a month, I was considering that The Soft Machine was a better band. Is that Matthew on the four-strong motherfucker? It doesn't sound like Andy's rubbery fretlessness. Someone in the audience asks, "What's the name of your band?" That's funny. I hope there are more from the 1980 tour coming. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2005 09:50:51 -0500 From: "Bachman, Michael" Subject: RE: reap > -----Original Message----- > From: Eb [mailto:elbroome@earthlink.net] > Ex-Jefferson Airplane drummer Spencer Dryden. Don't know any further > details at this point, beyond some sort of long illness. Grace Slick wrote about Spencer in the song "Lather" from the JA album Crown of Creation. I think he was a couple of years older than the rest of the members of JA at the time, and the first to hit 30. Michael B.
