[bomp] a LIAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR on the altar, a sermon never falters

"TV

OK, yeah, so Garfield was just riding that crest

>By that time Dukowski,who had been the real creative

ah jeez, musta been where Ozzy got the idea

and BF

>Nut" in my review (think it was for "Your Flesh"),
>late BF in general is just Rollins' macho,
>pseudo-psychopathic posings combined with Ginn's
>wanking. 

yeah, largely a relentless self-promoter, though I heard he did smash a mirror on his head during one show in D.C., I think. Plus, he always talked about how Ritalin and his mom messed him up.

As in Tommy? No. I did find an mp3 of "Ramona," by Johnny Bombay and the Reactions a couple weeks ago. JB (Abaad Behram) was in the Razz with Tommy before they went their separate ways. I fucking love, love, love that song and tracking it down was truly a glorious thing.

Ted Nicely was in the Razz was TK and JB. Ted produced a lot of Ian MacKaye's recorded output, and Ian is friends with Henry, so it all ties together quite nicely.
