I think you're confusing that with "Live Dead", the first live album by the Grateful Dead, who, I would assume, aren't zombies, as zombies seem rather angry and not at all grateful.

Something about the bearing, and the enthusiasm for Mark-bashing... ...not to mention the letter "g" at parallel critical junctures... Andy SW: We have something in common. When I was a young police reporter at a small daily newspaper in North Florida, I talked the editors into letting me write a weekly record review/music column on the side. Tell me about your experiences as a police reporter at a small daily newspaper  how you got to start writing about music there and all that helped your future career as music critic. MK: First, let me tell you how I got that job. I was fronting a punk band in my college town  Greenville, North Carolina  and working part-time at a deli when I got a call from the city editor of the Burlington Daily Times-News. I'd sent them a resumi a few months earlier, after graduating from school with an English degree. But I'd totally forgotten about it. The editor asked if I would be interested in a job as police reporter. I was a hippie punk rocker  not exactly the kind of guy who fancied spending a lot of time around cops. It sounded like some kind of weird karma to me. But I did want to be a journalist  either a rock journalist or some kind of gonzo political reporter like Hunter S. Thompson. The guys in my band were pressuring me to stay with them, but I was already enough of a critic to realize that I was much better at writing about music and listening to it than actually making it. So I took the job, and it was one of the better decisions I've ever made. Personally, I think all music critics and music journalists should log time reporting real news in the real world before sequestering themselves in the ivory tower of criticism. I think it gives you grounding, helps you understand music in relation to the real world, people who work real-world jobs, struggle to pay their bills, try to figure out how get their kids fed and taken to school. And it certainly helps you with technical stuff like clarity, storytelling, and asking the right questions. Because what we do  pop music journalism  really isn't as world-changing as we sometimes act like it is. I mean, come on, whether our focus is Britney Spears, Steve Earle, or Throbbing Gristle, we're writing about entertainment, purely and simply. Which is noble. It might even make people think about other issues if we put it in that context. But in the end, it ain't world-changing. It's entertainment... - --writer and editor Mark Kemp, from an interview conducted by Steven Ward at http://rockcritics.com/ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2008 18:49:01 -0700 From: "Andrew Hamlin" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] So... >> The two different aspects of my personality (Rog W and Jenny G) each >> post their own messages to the list, so I don't see why Sarge/Mark >> couldn't be doing the same thing. >> > > And here I thought I was Phil's alter-ego.

Ah, but I'm just a novice at the Mark-bashing compared to some. I'm flattered, but alas I am not our resident whimsical military master.
