I saw the Robert Wilson/Tom Waits show "The Black Rider" recently, and among its many joys was seeing these names listed in the cast: -Richard Strange: ex-Doctors of Madness -Mary Margaret O'Hara: singer/songwriter, comedian Catherine O'Hara's sister, I believe. So THAT'S what they're doing now - musical theatre. Reminded me of this great thread from another site, "rock stars who went back to work": [ilx.p3r.net] I frequently hear about LA musicians working around here: - Exene from X had a cool store on Sunset called "You've Got Bad Taste" for a while. -The guy from the Counting Crows served me drinks at the Viper Room. -A friend worked with Karl Percoda (original Dream Syndicate guitarist) at an events company, setting up picnics and the like. -Steve Jones of the Pistols has a daily radio show -Bob Forrest of Thelonius Monster is a drug counselor - he was still in his suit when I saw a reunited Thelonious recently. -David J (Bauhaus/Love and Rockets): club DJ -Dick Dale owned a restaurant in Orange County for a while in the '70s -Billy Preston: preacher/organist in SouthCentral (or Inglewood?) -Lee Michaels ('60s rocker "Do You Know What I Mean" etc) has a great restaurant called Killer Shrimp; I eat there alot Post Edited (07-07-06 17:47) https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,5602,5602#msg-5602 Thu, 16 Apr 2026 09:53:55 -0500 Phorum 5.2.23 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,5602,6218#msg-6218 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,5602,6218#msg-6218 rhettlawrence Trouser Press Mon, 23 Oct 2006 14:19:26 -0500 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,5602,6209#msg-6209 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,5602,6209#msg-6209 www.thebackpaincentre.echiropractor.com]]]> MrFab Trouser Press Sat, 21 Oct 2006 21:24:25 -0500 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,5602,5746#msg-5746 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,5602,5746#msg-5746

Huh?! When I saw Husker Du on the '80s, I don't recall him on stage with a wok.

Pretty sure that was a bass in his hand, not a potato peeler. Is he trying to rewrite history or sumthin?
