WHEN LOSER"S RULE THE WORLD

My weekend didn’t go the way it was meant to so that gave me the opportunity to get in about Ned Hayden’s Scene Loser. A slim 103 page journal that provides an honest account of his tenure outlining the peaks and troughs as they presented themselves. Grunge, such as it was, seemed leaden and lumpy. The trick was to transcend the dirge and this guy led the charge on having a beat on the calibration required to counter the template as a commodity. 

The Action Swingers were there, for better or for worse. Maybe not for richer but success isn’t always measured in financial terms. I’m humbled at making the cut to appear here as the time the band came to Glasgow and the tour mangler’s dog Herbie went missing is relayed. 

You’ll have to read the book to find out what happened. Click the picture for order details.

RIP - SUSIE TENNANT (CLICK ON PICTURE FOR SEATTLE TIMES OBITUARY)

To call Susie a Pacific Northwest force of nature is an understatement . This lassie was really something, blessed with next level energy. She'd has gone through several dozen mills in recent years. I met Susie when she toured with The Posies and Flop (1996?). We visited Seattle (1999?) and stayed with her and visited Snoqualmie. Somewhere there are pictures of the gang with "The Great Northern" (Salish Lodge) in the background. There were no devices to record everything but I don’t need that to hear her yelling Zom-bey!! at the top of her lungs as Rob Zombie blasted in the car. Her laugh was infectious and we giggled about Baby Sue magazine stuff that would likely get us cancelled today.

My condolences to Chris, the kids and her extended family across this (wicked) world. Another beautiful soul leaves the crease.
