Rack 'Em

I'm surprised 4th & B brought the Skeletones back - the club's previous management had banned the band after someone from their entourage set off what police described as a "bomb" outside the club in 1998. “The way 4th & B is, being a licensed establishment,” club security guard Joel Meriwether told the Reader at the time (he’d worked at the club since its inception), “you can’t take liquor outside in open containers. So we told them ‘You can’t walk outside with your beer.’ It was one guy [he’s unclear whether a bandmember or roadie] and as they got their van loaded up, as they were leaving, I was at the back door where I usually am. I got called in to break up a fight, and so [co-owner] Bob [Speth]’s wife went to the back door to spot me while I was inside." "The guy that was being a dick opened up the [van] window and threw what we thought was a cherry bomb at her. It hit the wall and exploded, kaboom, it echoed off the building. Right as he did that, a cop was sitting up the street at 3rd and B and he looks over and sees the flash and everything and stops the van.” “He’d actually thrown an M80. They called out the bomb squad, roped off the whole parking lot, the customers’ cars; they [the band] couldn’t leave. They had tweezers out there and were picking the stuff up for hours.” Meriwether says he recalls an arrest being made but can offer no further details. “I think he did some time. He was already on probation for some other stunt.” More tales of Trouble in Paradise: http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/bands/2008/…

No Helicopter, No Iron Butterfly

Commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock festival held August 15 through 18, 1969, the local chapter of the Paul Green School of Rock plan a “mini-Woodstock family-friendly event” at the Salvation Army Kroc Center on Saturday, August 15. The free show from noon to 6 p.m. will include students performing music from the original festival, as well as hippie-centric attractions like tie-dye booths and psychedelic face painting. Founded in 1998, the School of Rock (unrelated to the 2003 Jack Black film, though they frequently mention it in press releases) currently has outlets in around a dozen U.S. cities. With monthly tuitions averaging to $180 and $280 a month, students aged 7 through 18 get weekly private instruction on the instrument of their choice and weekly supervised rehearsals with other students. The San Diego branch was launched in early 2007 by Frank Zappa sideman Mike Keneally; the current Music Director is Tyler Ward, of the Exfriends. The Hard Rock Hotel chain plans its own Woodstock celebrations, with the South Florida branch hosting original festival performers Crosby, Stills and Nash, while the Orlando Hotel is converting its menu to include “food items reminiscent of the hippie generation,” including specialty drinks like “Hendrix Electric Lemonade” and “Bad Acid Trip.” From August 14 through 16, courtesy of Maryjane’s Coffee Shop, the San Diego Hard Rock Hotel will be serving hotel guests free pot brownies. No, really! “The brownies are aptly named for the charming ceramic pots in which they are baked, and not for any secret ingredients,” according to the Hotel. Bummer, man.

X-Fest Takes a Rest?

I don't think I've ever met Ken, and I think we've only corresponded via emails cc'd to others - what I'm defending is the worth of this particular story and how it was reported, as well as defending the journalistic integrity of the Blurt column itself, which I've contributed to almost every week for over ten years. I wasn't aware of the lawsuit details RE "settled" rather than "lost" but, tho I'm no lawyer, I think most people would consider being forced to pay out money over a civilly litigious allegation to be a loss. No matter the amount. There may be a legal distinction to the settlement-VS-lost terminology I'm not aware of which renders Ken's phrasing arguable, but surely not worthy of such mudslinging at ALL his reporting, at the entire Blurt column, and even with allegations that the Reader allows reporters to grind their personal axes publicly. That's ridiculous - if the Reader DID do that, I'd write articles once a month about ex-girlfriends and roommates who've stolen half the crap I ever owned ---

X-Fest Takes a Rest?

This is very much a relevant local music story, particularly to those who've been around long enough to witness the rise and fall (and further fall) of a radio station that was once THE music culture touchstone and identity stamp for several generations of rockin' San Diegans. Inviting insight from others with a long local history in the radio biz is a perfectly legit - and frequently insightful - way to flesh out such a multi-sided story. As a fellow Blurter, I can vouch for what a challenge it is to report on a longterm, ongoing, and complicated local music topic in 350 words or less. Almost all of the gripes I see on this website directed at Ken are clearly from people with a personal beef and/or bias against him, the person, as opposed to truthfully and accurately addressing his actual reporting - most of the tirade comments are so specious that they'd be comical, if they weren't so mean-spirited and - in some cases - libelous and slanderous. The X-fest MIA is a worthy story, topical and well-reported in this new Reader ish (and hardly reported anywhere else, as with MANY stories that break first in Blurt) - the fact that it has engaged so many commentators is only proof of this. If yer personal bias compels you to repeatedly poke the Blurt bear with pointy sticks, try sharpening a pencil instead and submit your OWN Blurt, on this or any other topic you feel is important RE local music. The Reader is always open to well written, topical, balanced, and timely submissions. In addition, I'm always open to giving story submissions exposure on our Rock Around the Town blog and at myspace.com/sandiegoreadermusic (no paycheck for blog and MySpace articles, but lots of exposure) - BUT, you'd better be prepared to do a helluva lotta work, talk to a helluva lotta folks, and piss off a helluva lotta people (justifiably or not) if you think YOUR article can inform, entertain, AND engage as well as the one above --- Jay Allen Sanford

Lindsay White

Yeah, I'm a dumbass. The sentence that begins "Kind of a Tori Amos syndrome..." was my own comment, tho I mistakenly bracketed the whole 'graph in quote marks. I have a great excuse about working with an unfamiliar machine and a program with wonky punctuation codes, but I'm still a dumbass for not having Lindsay proof the draft. I already tendered a private apology to her, but here's a public one as well! I owe you a solid, Lindsay!

One Badfinger Standing

The band has toured as Joey Molland's Badfinger for over a decade, including versions that featured up to three members from Badfinger's recording career. My mistake for not using the full name (tryin' to keep the word-count down). I think calling themselves Joey Molland's Badfinger clearly indicates exactly the kind of show attendees can expect -- the pity is that the Hippiefest sets are cut so short. Full length headliner sets by Molland and company include many more of the Badfinger songs he wrote or co-wrote, and even occasional solo gems ---

One Badfinger Standing

Needlessly harsh, and factually unsupportable --- As early as 1970, “Better Days” - a Molland/Evans single from the No Dice album (the first full Badfinger album with Joey Molland) – was the popular flipside of the monster hit single “No Matter What” (US #8). Joey also co-wrote “I Don’t Mind” on this album. 1971’s Straight Up album had Joey’s “Sometimes,” “Suitcase” (featuring Beatles cohort Klaus Voorman), “I’d Die Babe,” AND a lovely little acoustic ballad still well-suited for solo performance, “Sweet Tuesday Morning.” He also co-wrote “Flying” on this one, a personal fave of mine --- And arguably the two most rootsy rockin’ songs ever done by the classic lineup were on their final Apple album Ass (1973), with Joey’s “I Can Love You” and “Icicles.” Of the album’s ten songs, Joey wrote five. For Badfinger’s self-titled Warner Brothers album in 1974, Joey wrote four of the twelve tracks – the final album with the four “classic” members, Wish You Were Here, also had four Joey tracks (two of them grafted onto other songs in operatic “suites”), “Got To Get Out of Here” being the Beatlesque best, tho the closing track “Should I Smoke” is one of the band’s all-time great rock-out end-of-set numbers --- Just sayin’ ------------

National Elvis

Kruk emails "Just a quick update, I placed second at the Lake Tahoe Ultimate Elvis contest. The crowd though was clearly on my side as I receive the most rousing applause of the evening. Judges, who can figure them."
