SURPRISING INFORMATION

Rita: While Lolita passes out posters in front of 738 Mass. Ave, Central Square, and tries to kiss everyone, I’m going to take this time to find out something new about some of the people we already know. Excuse me Roger, could you tell me something our readers would be surprised to learn about you? ROGER MILLER (Alloy Orchestra/ Mission of Burma): I made the “waiting in line” and “safety instruction” music for the Hulk Ride (Gamma Tube) at the Universal Theme Park in Orlando, Florida. *** AARON GRAY (Milo’s Syndicate): I started my musical career as a trumpet player... marching band, orchestra, jazz ensemble... the whole deal. That was until Metallica called me up and told me to stop being such a pussy. True story. *** PETE SUTTON (Temper): I am actually Joel Simches. *** SEAN MURRAY (Totaro): Something that some of you may be surprised to know about me is that when I was about 13 years old my parents divorced. My father moved away and I have not heard from him more than three times since. I have no idea where he is or even if he is alive. Occasionally (not for while though) someone like and aunt or uncle or maybe even a cousin will have some news on him. If I were to see him now, the first thing I’d say is that I miss and love him and that everything is okay. *** ANNGELLE WOOD (WZLX/ WMFO): I’m a rock and style enthusiast. Never wanting to be a one trick pony, I got into the hair business three years ago and I totally love it. I still do radio—hear me on WZLX. I do the hair stuff at Floyd’s 99 Barbershop on Mass. Ave. in Cambridge. *** WALTER SICKERT (Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys): One of my heroes, the creator of theSimpsons, Matt Groening, caught our set when we opened for the Tiger Lillies at UCLA. After the show he bought our CD and now owns all five of our Jack Ripper-themed art EPs! Come on Matt Tree House of Horror with The Army of Broken Toys! *** LIZ BORDEN (Liz Borden Band): I watch soap operas! ABC soaps, baby! I have watched my whole life! There, I admitted it! I am out of the soap opera closet! I feel free and so much better. Next year I will be marching in the Soap Opera Pride Parade. *** JAKE HALL (The Self Righteous Brothers): One thing readers might be surprised to learn about me is that I was born with both male and female genitalia. Interestingly enough however, I was also born with only four fingers on my left hand. This posed an interesting dilemma with an even more interesting solution. After weeks, my parents agreed to a surgery that would involve removing my existing penis and sewing it onto my left hand to function as a pinky finger. The operation was a great success! To this day, every time I “pinky-swear” with someone, I chuckle to myself... ’cause it means I actually just penis swore. Shhh... Don’t tell! Lolita: I knew I couldn’t trust Jake when he asked me if he could stick his finger in my belly button. *** MR. B (Born of Thunder/ IPR): I am an avid collector of broken ladders. *** MIKE PIEHL (Reverse): Your readers would be surprised to know I did time for perjury. Joliet, Illinois for 10 years. Hey, would I lie about something like that? *** DJ MATTHEW GRIFFIN (The Noise/ Gotharama): My cat can throw a guilt trip on me with just a look. I think it’s time to start getting out of the house more often. *** JIM HEALEY (We’re All Gonna Die): That I have actually been to numerous Star Trek conventions. No, I didn’t dress up. Lolita: Wait a second—weren’t you that Klingon who was hitting on me when I was in my sexy Seven of Nine costume?
