RIP Mr. Owari

 

I don't talk a lot about my personal life on this blog.  There are some posts here and there, but mostly it is about the nerd stuff I love.  Not this one.

Pro wrestlers have a fear of late night calls.  When one of them passes away, it always seems to be in the middle of the night.  Last night I got the call from Christopher Elam's sister.  Chris had a medical event happened while he was driving home and he passed away from the accident.  He was only 51 years old.

exclusive interview with Blue Oyster Cult

well, one member of the group, anyway.

I've had this magazine for almost thirty years, and I don't think I ever read most of the article.  it's not like I hated the bands they were talking about, they were just kind of... there.  I bought it for the piece one the Plasmatics (the same reason I bought my first issue of CREEM as well) and the other stuff was just kind of... there.  I bought many issues of CREEM after 1982, but Hit Parader was never as much fun.  treated the artists too well, I think, with no sense of humor.
