MUSICAL CHAIRS
Rita: When the music stops—grab a chair. No chair? You’re out. Here’s who is in and out of some of the bands we love. THE RUDDS have picked up JOHN BROOKHOUSE (the Dirty Truckers) as their new guitarist——and ANDREA GILLIS is no longer officially in the band. Lolita: We say officially because we did see Andrea sit in on a couple of songs at Lolita’s Lovefest. *** DAVE UNGER (Random Road Mother/ Antler), GREG HOFFMAN (Doc Hopper/ Roadmother Daltonic), TJ KIERSTED (Neon Jesus/ Huge), STAN DAY (Oxycontinentals), and CHRIS COUGHLIN (x-Kiren Ridge Band) and are now collectively known as CROPDUSTER. *** ELIAS has joined TRIPLE THICK on bass. *** STRAWHORSE members STEVEN KILROY, GREG MOORE, GENE JOHNSON, and LA SEPULVEDA, once signed to MCA, are threatening to make a bid for a reunion—keep an eye on the barn. *** Bassist ODETTA MO EXCRUCIOR (Melika M. Fitzhugh), and drummer/synth programmer LEON RICH have joined the ranks of LUCRETIA’S DAGGERS. The band is still seeking a keyboard player. Lolita: At the end of every round of Musical Chairs a player gets knocked out. In the game of war, soldiers and anyone who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time can have the life knocked out of them. Let’s move on to the current figures involving the loss of life in the Iraq war. We don’t bring this up to depress you. We want you to never forget that people are dying because our president had an agenda to see through at any cost. Lying to start a war is so much worse than murdering one person. Hopefully we will see justice done within our lifetime.
