Friday Night Fights: Tore Up My Tickets to See ELO

(from Date With Debbi #16, July-August 1971)

Tempermental teen queen Debbi Anderson busts a groove and scores a smash hit record...on some fool's head.

The Weirdos - Destroy All Music (from a 1977 single; collected on We Got the Neutron Bomb: Weird World, Vol. 2, 2003) - But fellas, music has proven itself more than capable of destroying itself... Speaking of which, I read an article today in a local weekly that tried to present Mandy Moore's new album as minor "indie" masterpiece.

Mojo Nixon - Don Henley Must Die (from Otis, 1990) - That's the Jacobin position. I ascribe to the Girondist position -- that letting him live to serve as a cautionary figure is the more effective course of action.

(Bahlactus has issued the clarion call to brawl.)

That's the sort of branding statement I can really get behind. I shall endeavor to check them out.

Don't know if this story is true, but I like it: Mojo Nixon was supposedly playing a show one night, about to play "Don Henley Must Die," when he was informed that Henley was in the house. So, the story goes, Mojo changed it for that night only to "Phil Collins Must Die."

A finer sentiment, in my book.
