RTP-area local music and culture

If you're tired of all the Reagan nonsense (HE's been effectively dead
for years folks), why not mourn the passing of someone REAL.  Robert
Quine is dead.  I don't know the details, will not pass on any
unconfirmed rumors. He was a mighty king, my favorite guitarist.  Too
bad he didn't do more, he's known for his work on only really 2 albums
Blank Generation and the Blue Mask, but as these contain some of the
most lethal electric guitar on record, these alone will stand as
testimony to a true original.  He blended punk blues and jazz into an
unholy fire blast that was not of this world.  Richard Hell would be a
twerp without him, I love Hell, but Quine was the music, and the
Voidoids are a MUSICAL force, one that really messed my life up. 
Thanks BOB!
