On Blog Commenters (of Tucson) Angry (at Rick Moody)
Um...that read like liner notes to a vintage Friends of Dean Martinez CD. Hell, my sample piece for SPIN on Tucson nightlife was more insightful.
"Tucson is hot. And weird. But mostly hot." Thanks, Rick! Duly noted! My San Franciscan friend put it much more succinctly: "Tucson---it's almost Austin."

On Dee Snider To Take On New Role: Twisted Father
Dee was on the bill at Alice Cooper's holiday fundraiser in Phoenix last year. Dee was a good sport about the Cooper family's fundie leanings (I'd never been to a metal show that opened with a prayer circle.) And I didn't expect him to cop to his biggest hit being ripped off from O Come All Ye Faithful.
