Annihilation Man
How Darby Crash lost control. Of the Germs.
Of Circle One. Everything.
by Brendan Mullen
excerpt
Paul and George also were enraptured by
two popular books about mass murderer Charles
Manson, former Fug Ed Sanders' The Family and
L.A. city prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi's
Helter Skelter.
That was 20 years ago. A search for recent
anniversary coverage in the Lexis-Nexis®
news-research engine turned up 580 listings
in the database defined by the parameters All
Newspapers/Previous 60 Days/"John Lennon" AND
"death." The same search, but substituting
the name "Darby Crash," turned up one.
The loneliest fucking number I ever saw.

35th anniversary of Zap Comix 1
for immediate release: April 8, 2003
The Bowery Poetry Club is proud to present the 10th Anniversary Celebration of Frank Messina & Spoken Motion. It's hard to believe it's already been a decade since the sounds of "SpoMo hit the streets. From those hot summer nights at the Nuyorican to the bright lights of Lollapalooza & Woodstock, the band has seen it all. Come join the celebration at New York City's premier spoken word venue in the heart of the Bowery. The original line-up features legendary percussionist Larry McDonald, Bob Susko on guitar, bassist Joe Isgro and drummer Wes Jensen. Special musical guests include Elliott Levin, Billy Bang with very special appearances by Frank's rock n' roll/jazz legend friends. Special guest poets include Kentucky legend Ron Whitehead, Andy Cook, Zoe Artemis and more. Surprises abound!
"For the past decade, Frank Messina and I have performed throughout Europe and the USA. Our recent WAR POETS Tour of Iceland, England and Scotland was wonderfully intense. Frank is one of America's best young poets. It will be an honor to share the stage with him at the 10th Anniversary Celebration of his work with the always fantastic Spoken Motion," says Ron Whitehead, Pulitzer Nominee and founder of the Literary Renaissance.
"In the 1990's, 'SpoMo' was the biggest touring 'spoken word' band in America", says Jim Muzer, of DownBeat Magazine. "When Frank erupted on the scene with his band in 1993, you got the feeling of permanance...a performer who obviously loves turning people on...a road hog...a spoken word warrior. I'm glad to see Frank still hammering away at it like the work horse I've always known him to be..."
Bob Holman, founder of the Bowery Poetry Club booked the show in a heartbeat. "Nobody carries a bigger book than Frank Messina...he's the rock n' roll Poet Laureate." Don't miss this special show. Come one. Come all! Tickets on sale at Bowery Poetry Club box office or at Virtuous.com. This show will sell out, so get em soon.
