that's really sad about viv's current stance on the slits (about which i had no idea). apparently, the slits now mean $ to her which is patently contrary to their original aesthetic. or maybe ari did her wrong???

Gee Walter, that's a really brilliant idea. And who exactly would she
speak to at the label? Ever try to call these big labels
yourself? They're not exactly the most helpful people you'll find.
Viv has pretty much cut Ari out of the equation, claiming that she's the
Slits herself. That probably means that she's signing off on the rights
and the record company can then claim that it's an issue between the band
members.
