() We had four houseguests from out-of-town for the long Thanksgiving weekend (Wed-Sun), so Thursday 1p.m.-ish we all went (with lots of quarters) and experienced the always-fascinating Musee Mecanique on Fisherman’s Wharf, a local treasure. Nice views there, too.
() Stacy Russo’s We Were Going to Change the World: Interviews with Women from the 1970s & 1980s Southern California Punk Rock Scene; Foreword by Mike Watt.
() The Big Takeover #81 arrived a few hours ago and we immediately read The Pixies interview and the Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders) Pt 2 interview. Plus the super-political editorial which is a shared-culture-wake-up-call expressing a huge-inarticulate-but-deeply-felt malaise-almost-rage about the state of shocked-into-insensibility/media-sedated Amerikkka today. Like, get your news from al jazeera; skip all the rest! Jack Rabid deserves your support: www.bigtakeover.com His radio show is on realpunkradio.com every Monday live at noon!
We were also devastated by Shannon’s loss, we asked a friend in New York and he told us that sadly Shannon took his own life, which was shocking.. I don’t know any other details or heard from anyone else but the truth is we would have never guessed it given the fact that he was always so energetic and involved with so many amazing projects….
I just read it on the NY Times as well, so sad..
I hope you’re well though during these strange times..
“The details I know is that he was found dead of a suicide, though I have no specifics. Like you, myself and many close friends and associates who knew him have been shocked and devastated.
“Just thought I would fill you in, in case no one had replied. Sorry to be the bearer of such sad news. What I have heard from several friends is that he’d been in a fog through much of this year, and they were trying to get him on antidepressants.
“There is a memorial for him at MOMA PS1 in NYC this Saturday, if you want more details. I found your post as I have been searching for a proper obituary since this happened, feeling a bit lost as a lot of us are.
“I hope this message finds you well otherwise, I am a big fan of RE/Search books.
