Where is the evidence linking Adnan to any of this? "Bad luck"? Cell-tower pings that don't quite sync up? Those wouldn't hold up in any court not prejudiced by overzealous racist prosecutors and a messed-up, dying, likely drug-addicted defense attorney with a voice as soothing as nails on a chalkboard.

Disagree. Jay is a complete and total bullshitter ("The West Side hitman? Please) and was likely involved. He tossed his clothes and a shovel, for fuck's sake. I'm not sure of Adnan's role, but there's pretty much nothing except the flimsiest of connections tying him to Hae's murder. Plus, Adnan never showed any…

Yeah, communist! Go back to commie-land and keep on being a commie!

Hey, thanks for the thoughtful response. I love talking some UFO. And while I appreciate your thoughts, No Place to Run really doesn't do it for me. I find the sound so flat, so monochromatic. It just doesn't breathe for me. If you were to say The Wild, The Willing, and the Innocent, well, that I could see. I think…

Yeah, you're pretty much way ahead of the game right there.

The moon happened in '82. Looks like you missed your chance, alas.

My work here is done. Thanks.

Interesting. I think Lights Out and Obsession sound pretty good, although the drums are up really high on Obsession. (Then again, I think Andy Parker is a one of rock's great underrated drummers, so maybe that's not the worst thing.)

That is interesting. It was produced by Sir George Martin, and I don't think anyone came away from it too happy. I feel like the sound is so... monochromatic. But I think their next album, The Wild, The Willing and The Innocent, is really strong. They produced that one themselves, and Mogg told me they were still…

Good question. I think Mogg was a combative sort, and he was known for getting in a lot of fights. But Schenker wasn't easy for anyone to get along with — even with the softest of kid gloves he would've found some way to fuck it up. Look at his post-UFO history — it's filled with mid-tour meltdowns and breakups.

Wait a second — wasn't that where Mogg mooned the crowd and got arrested? He had to spend the night in jail for that, and that caused visa problems for him later. (Another only-UFO story — didn't have room for it, alas.)

I may have been wrong about them.

Fixed. Thanks.

For those of us in Chicago, it's a bummer. There were some duds (Harry, Jarrett, and Spike), but a lot of good talent there. The people who talked about the Cubs (Connor, Julie, etc) knew their stuff.

"Hey, how'd they come up with that? That's brilliant stuff!"

He is The Worst.

Actually, no — I figured it was Cowley.

"Maybe we ought to give this guy a call — would be great doing 'Black Dog.'"

Cool. Give Plan Bee a shot, then let me know how it went. Guy seemed pretty cool.

I guess it's actually in Fishkill (?!?!), so I don't know if that's close to you know or not. Look it up — the dude seemed like a cool guy.
