Oh man. Did she pass away? I contributed to a gofundme campaign for her.  Sad. Just saw them at Rams Head and they were great.


Seth, any chance of having the Smithereens (and friends) in for a benefit for the band?  Pat has had surgery and can't play the guitar and Jimmy's wife just passed from cancer.       

As did I to both.  They also had a gofundme earlier to pay for Pat's multiple surgeries.

I did to both as well.... did you end up making the Annapolis show you had tix for?   I ended up going to both the Rams Head shows and the State Theater show the night before, and one of the things I was looking for was to see how Pat's arm was, and I'm sad to say it's in pretty bad shape, was pretty much just hanging there, he didn't seem to have much control of it at all.... in between shows he had it in a sling....

was Jim there? How was he doing? Had his wife passed before the shows?

Jim is always such a great guy.. I've talked to him- briefly- after any number of State Theatre shows... I couldn't really face talking to him this year.. a close friend of mine died in the past year from cancer and I watched it eat him alive over many months..brutal.. when I saw the picture of Jim's wife in front of the christmas tree I knew she wasn't long for this world ...

^ yes, Jim was there and she hadn't passed yet.... talked to him briefly before the early Rams Head show and wished him well..... one thing I've learned about cancer, I guess depending on which type you have, is that people seem to slowly decline over time and then at a certain point it just goes into overdrive and bam, you're gone relatively quickly..... that's how it happened for my father, at least, and a couple of other people I knew....

We did make it to the early Rams Head show and talked to Pat and Jim afterward.  I asked Jim about his wife and he got teary-eyed and just shook his head.  He also talked about getting one of his sons off heroin.
Pat wore a black sport coat with his arm just hanging limply, looking almost dead.  He seemed to think he'd be playing again, just not sure when.  I sure hope so.

Crystal Castles (minus Alice of course) are playing shows again.  I would love to see this version of them live, as they were really good the one time I saw them on tour for their last LP.

Thank you Seth for ACE FREHLEY the greatest guitar player to grace the 930 stage since maybe Chuck Berry (I can't be too thankful here publicly as people will make fun of me for my love of Ace or you but you know I know...)

I will say this... I don't think ace is a guitar god, however, I do think hutch had an influence on this booking, brah.

Don't listen to this guy Seth.. we both know he is a guitar god... I have put down some good stuff on the Just Announced Commentary Thread demonstrating Ace is in fact a god...

but I can't resist posting this here.. you'll note and appreciate the Chuck Berry tie in...

I have to agree that for men of a certain age, Ace is a legitimate guitar god. I don't think it's particularly due to his ability. He was a fine player but the 70s were rife with far better players, in terms of skill and/or feel. But Ace was the engine behind MOTHERFUCKING KISS and if you were of sentient age in 1975 and you saw this photo



then you immediately became an Ace fanatic.

^ see now that i can't object to.  i never got in to KISS but i can understand their appeal to a certain age group (my degree of sentience was pretty low in '75).  but that make him a rock god with a guitar, not a guitar god.

My parents wouldn't let me listen to KISS or Black Sabbath. Too satanic.

I'm not sure how I convinced them to let me go see Ozzy as my first concert, but by that time I was probably in high school.
