Dallas Poetry" half to death. Met Siouxie Souix of Siouxie and the Banshees that year, chatted with many hard-core acts and did sit it out in the booth whenever the skinheads tried to turn Bar of Soap into a neo-Nazi moshpit.

Ran awhile with Bobby Sox of "Stick Men With Ray Guns" in the mid-to-late nineties, only to be saddened when that genius froze to death behind the Arcadia Theater after dosing himself with heroin. Still talks to those who survived.

Forever young is the job description. Left the paralegal business 20 years ago.
