Road Rage

Close personal acquaintance Cary Fosse was quoted in the L. A. Times over the wknd., in an article by Greg Burk. Alas, rather than something about what a fine axe-slinger Mr. Fosse is, it concerned the actual, unjustified murder of Rod Poole, apparently a fine guitarist himself who (English or not) didn't deserve to die young. Said murder (Mr. Poole took umbrage at being almost run over and was knifed to death by the same air-polluting driver who almost ran him over) took place Sunday 13 May just down the street from hideous tourist trap Hollywood & Highland (and why Americans' idea of a vacation is going to a different part of this great nation of ours to wander slightly different malls & buy the same crap from the same mall stores is beyond me, but that's the subject of a different rant). As a human being and non-polluting permanent pedestrian I can only hope that crazed (alleged) murderer Michael Sheridan gets the book thrown at him, and then is put away for the remainder of his life. And the (alleged) killer's wife Angela oughta do quite a term herself.

That Times article introduced me to two new terms, "drone artist" and "edge-music". I wonder how they dug up Carey for a quote. Maybe he's a drone artist in the edge-music community.
