CAPTURING YOU

Rita: While Lolita pouts over her lost love, I’m going to find out who’s been captured in a song or piece of art. Let’s start with that woman who carries an axe behind her back. LIZ BORDEN (The Liz Borden Band): Having a song written about you is strange but at the same time very flattering. There have been a couple songs but I won’t kiss and tell! Okay, I will tell on one person. Bug Syphlloid/ Doug Quintal wrote a song about me. That is all I’m saying. *** DAVE TREE (SuperPower/ DrugWar): I just had art up in a show in Brooklyn. It was the 400th anniversary of John Milton author of “Paradise Lost” It was at the prestigeous Williamsburg Art and Historicical Center. I was invited to show after one of the shows poets did a piece on my piece, the director liked it and asked me to send the piece a week before the opening. So because some artist did a piece on my piece of art I was invited to show art. *** MONIQUE ORTIZ (A.K.A.C.O.D.): I am “captured” naked in about 60 or so pieces of artwork each week! When I’m not working on my music or my own art, I work as a figure model for art schools and several independent artists. There are few things as liberating and fun as being naked in front of a bunch of overly active creative thinkers! *** BRUCE ALLEN (The Doom Buggies/ Butt’er Crunch): In college, probabaly around 1986 or so, I had my friend, syndicated cartoonist Keith Knight (K Chronicles/ Think) draw me as if I were a character in his comic strip. He drew a band with me playing guitar, our friend Pierre playing bass, and himself with a microphone. About a year later that picture came to life when we all formed Butt’er Crunch, a 7-piece funk band with a DJ, heavy guitars, three rappers (including me on some songs). It was my first band and one of the first rap-rock bands in the Boston area. I still have the picture somewhere. *** SARAH RABDAU (Sarah Rabdau and Self-Employed Assassins/ The Fast Easy Women): Yes. Every song Ad Frank has written since 2005. Lolita: Sarah, were you that “other woman” at the Glass Slipper when I was dating Ad two years ago?
