Yeah, that was my Zappa experience, too. UMCP or somewhere else?

Bassist committed suicide.

Gads saw them, Cars, Dead, Blind Mellon, James Brown, this is depressing.

Joe Strummer (Clash)
John Entwistle (Who)
Michael Hutchins (INXS)
Howard Jones back-up keyboard player
Mick Ronson (Bowie/Ziggy & the Spiders)
Social Distortion

Winter Hours…are they a local band? I remember seeing a great band in Frederick MD and they were called Winter Hours.


I'm sure there's a bunch of 70's punk bands I saw who's members have crashed and burned. I never knew someone from Social D had died for example.

From New Jersey. They played here a lot; WHFS had them in pretty good rotation.

What happened to the singer?

I always had them pegged for bigger and better things they were that good.

I've seen a lot of artists who have now passed on, but I found it really tough to see Social D at the Dennis Dannell benefit show just after his passing.
