I live only a few miles from Newport Beach and in fact grew up there in the 
60's and early 70's. There's been a few news reports the past week about 
this and the guy looks completely off his nut. However, I have no love for 
the NB police dept so it's always good to see them with egg on their face.

BTW, The Germs are playing a show in the next few weeks around here. Based 
on what the drummer looks and acts like, plus the fact the original singers' 
been dead for what, a quarter century, I can't imagine this gig being 
anything more than completely sad and pathetic. Here's a photo from about 3 
years ago but trust me, he looks like he's aged about 30 years in that short 
time:
