>So how about the rest of you? What is it that you really love about Marc
>and/or Wall of Voodoo in general? Tell all!

That's not too hard----we really love Marc's quirky, thrashy,
feedback-filled guitar sound and those awesome spaghetti-Western riffs. We
also love the way he holds his head and makes those contortions with his
mouth when he plays, and we especially love the way he flails his guitar
against the guitar amp during the end of Ring of Fire.

Here are a couple of Wall of Voodoo stories for you---

In the early 1980s I owned a Mustang GT, and I loved to annoy my friends by
blasting Tsetse Fly, Back In Flesh and Ring of Fire through the speakers.
I hung a triangle from the rear-view mirror, and hit it with my little
metal triangle stick at the same time that Joe would. I received a ticket
one night for going 52 mph down Topanga Canyon Boulevard (a 40 mph zone)
while listening to Ring of Fire, and for months afterwards every time Ring
of Fire came on my tape I nervously looked into the rear-view mirror.

Wall of Voodoo was playing at the Country Club in Reseda, CA, back around
early 1982, and I was waiting around at my friend's house in Canoga Park
before leaving for the late evening show. As I was leaving the house and
walking to my car to head to the show, a car pulled up and asked me if I
knew where the Country Club was! I told the driver, who was about six
miles off the mark, to follow me.
