Who focken cares? I just got done with the Alive and Kicking story on
th losin streaks. (I posted a blog about this on my space, but since I
don't know who in the group is a "friend" of mine, here goes...

Am I the only person who is sick to death of reading about Mike's past
(and current?) drug use? I am pretty sure the guy is clean, but it
ain't my business any way. I, like many of you have heard all the damn
junky stories I care to. Other rocknroll people have gone through the
same meat grinder as mister farrell and have told the story better.

Was this latest "revelation" Mike's idea (c,mon, man. People will buy
the latest recording on the merits, not because you used to jab
yourself.) or Jerry's, or both?

Are there scenesters who are so desperate to make Sacramento almost as
cool as The City that they will take our most famous drug addict and
beat the dead junky for all the mileage possible, with the music as an
afterthought?

Not quite, but kinda like SammyTown continually bragging about killing
his girlfriend at Fang gigs when he first got paroled.

If that's all there is, to this person, beyond the excellent guitar
histrionics and untouchable stage moves, maybe someone needs to
either quit writing about or stop talking about what is supposed to be
ancient history.

Or, maybe readers of Alive and Kicking love repetition.

August issue: "I saw Sacto Sid and the Scene Suckfish and they rocked!"

September issue: "Sacto Sid and the Scene Suckfish have just completed
work on the new cd and it fucking KILLS!"

October issue: "Solo acoustic gig by Sacto Sid shows that he fucking
kicks Ass!"

November issue: "Benefit for fictional Thalidimide babies to feature
Sacto Sid and the Scene Suckfish, plus guests. Also see our voter guide!"
