Re: Rock n Roll Headstone
Eyes on the prize, Arnold, this isn't about you.I now make $30/hr. working with my brother-in-law in the Fort Worth area, with full Blue Cross/Blue Shield benefits
And at this point, you have to know it's a joke.Harv died on April 19, 1986, late at night on a rainy back road outside of Denton. He lost control of his beloved Pinto, sheered off a telephone pole then rolled the car into a drainage ditch. From what I was told by a mutual friend who was first on the scene, his Sparkomatic cassette player was still playing Joan Jett & the Blackheart’s Bad Reputation. This was the favorite album of Mary Jane Halberstadt, the love of Harv’s life who had broken up with him a few months earlier. Something about him not growing in the same direction. Had they been together, she’d probably have died, too. Harv went out the way he lived: rocking like there was no tomorrow.
Right?

I consider it a possibility, but not for sure. Although he has detailed recollection of all those shows, as I only have vague ones of shows that were last year.Dr. Medulla wrote:

Where were Triumph during this mid-eighties masturbation-disguised-as-charity event?
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Rush: My smart-guy band was The Alan Parsons Project. Harv’s was Rush. Listening to them made us feel smart. I knew a lot about pyramids. Harv knew a lot about food preparation. Neil Peart was his idol, although he reminded me of the stuck-up salesman at Radio Shack who played King Crimson records to prospective stereo buyers.

Re: Rock n Roll Headstone
There's lots there that is believable, but so many of the details are cliches or just fuckin' nuts. Like him talking about going to a porn shop while Harv went to see Triumph—huh?tepista wrote:The part about the parents pulling the ticket stubs from the mirror was feasible, I usedta do that.
