The first time I ever heard of the place was Metal Maniacs saying that Sigh played with Deceased there in what... 2000? It's been a long time. 

Anyway... fuck the Department of Buildings and fuck the neighbors. Salud.

The biggest fuck you had to go to the single person who raised the issue with the DoB, just because he was offended by woke culture.

Outlaws Guitarist Freddie Salem Dead at 70 (ultimateclassicrock.com)

[Curt McGirt]

Aw man. "Green Grass and High Tides" has to be the (non-Skynyrd) peak of Southern rock -- especially the solos.

RIP

EDIT: And, shit... he didn't play on it, of course

Here IS Freddie playing "Green Grass and High Tides" with them. THREE GUITARISTS, BASSIST, TWO DRUMMERS. As DEAN might say, beat THAT, Jack.

[Curt McGirt]

Paul Bakija (aka Paul Cripple), guitarist of Reagan Youth, has passed away from cancer. 

I was never a big RY fan but they were OGs.

RIP

If you had to describe Kris Kristofferson and what kind of person he was, he is literally the only person who showed support or respect for Sinead O Connor after what she did on Saturday Night Live. 

[Death From Above]

Kris was a special talent.

[odessasteps]

RIP Cissy Houston, mother of Whitney, age 91. 

[Curt McGirt]

Kris was incredible. There isn't a better word for it. 

Anyway... *sigh* RIP to Curtis Beeson, drummer for Nasty Savage. Here's a photo of an 18 or 19 year old me with him, Ben Meyer, and a dude I lost touch with (I'm the one with the denim vest. 1000 pounds ago, of course). He was so fucking cool; hung out all day long with a bunch of kids drinking Bud out of the trunk of a car while being a reformed alkie. No ego, no nothing, just nice as hell and treated us like anybody should. 

EDIT: Meyer is the longhaired dude and guitarist of Nasty, Curtis is the dude with the camera. Nasty Ronnie didn't show up until right before showtime on his motorcycle and dropped a TV on his head and then bladed haha. PRO WRESTLING BABY!

I met Cat a few times around 7 years ago. She was a delightful woman with a ton of stories.
