Wash ,'War Stories'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
It was a Los Lobos show with True Believers opening. I saw Hoodoo Gurus and The Replacements (separate shows) at the Channel that year too. Also The Bangles at The Paradise.
I definitely was at that Hoodoo Gurus show (Big hair! Ahhhh!). And I saw the Bangles at the Paradise the second time they came around. I know I saw the True Believers somewhere around that time, but can't remember if it was that Channel show. I really wish I'd kept a diary.
how's Alejandro Escovedo doing?
That reminds me I think I saw something about him touring now....YES!
He's in DC on Sept 30. I hope that means he's doing a lot better.
People don't recover from Hep C, do they? Isn't it one of those diseases that's always fatal, but can be minimized with clean living and the right combination of meds?

Yup. Very often the way Hep C. kills you is that it leads to liver cancer.
actually, that's no longer true from what I understand. A friend of moonlit's had hep-c but he was put on an experimental treatment, and from what I've been told, it's now cured.
That's my understanding too, Jimi. I guy I know (bass player for The Bevis Frond and formerly of Hawkwind, Adrian Shaw) told me he was cured.
The Bloodshot website has Escovedo with a clean bill of health and back on the road as well. Hooray!
It's great news, hey Jon?
Yeah, it was amazing!
yay for renewed health!
I have put up my unconventional love song at buffistarawk. Mike Doughty sings to the "sunkeneyed girl in the sandwich shop." It's loooove.
