Seriously! I just got a new “subscriber” to my blog named by the name of “ergergwwbt” with a .ru email address. If there was any doubt in my mind I could have just hopped onto http://www.stopforumspam.com/ and searched for his email address to confirm my suspicions that it was a spammer.
Why is this important to me? For one, @ 1:36 you can catch a glimpse of my old band’s graffiti covering the entrance to the original Detroit City Club. We (Walk Thru Walls) were the last band to play there on new year’s eve 1984*, and for a year or so our graffiti remained untouched located at the site of the Detroit Women’s City Club building on the corner of West Elizabeth and Park Avenue in downtown Detroit. The Pretenders were nice enough to play around the corner at the Fox Theater, and create this wonderful document of the area, circa 1985.
*Although Walk Thru Walls was the last live band to play there, the last song spun, by D.J. Sybil Augustine, was Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead performed by Klaus Nomi, a request by yours truly.
