[kj] Old News: I did not know this...

[Rheinhold Squeegee]

And to further mine your indignation, Mr. McGrath performed "Eighties" with Camp Freddy in LA just this past year:

And before you ask, Camp Freddy is a "just-for-fun" cover band in Los Angeles that periodically plays the Roxy and is led by Dave Navarro, Matt Sorum, Donovan Leitch (yes, his son) with members of The Cult and Jane's Addiction. 

 

I never said he was any good. I just thought it was interesting to see the insidious manner in which our beloved KJ are able to worm their way into popular culture.

Cheesy West Coast white-funk-rap from the late 90's, a la Smashmouth. First album had a decent song called "Danzig Needs A Hug." Appeared in "Scooby Doo 2". Lead singer is now a contributor to "Access Hollywood", such as it is. I believe they were virtually unknown in the UK, but were quite popular in Japan, Finland and Latin America.

Oh, wow -- I don't care for Sugar Ray whatsoever, but I'll McGrath for using a great lyric for inspiration! (And for asking having the good taste to listen to KJ!) 

Interesting post, Rheinhold.  : )

"All around the world statues crumble for me"
MARK MCGRATHPosted Oct 31, 2005 3:36 PM
 





(FROM "FLY") 

 
I was sitting in our old house -- we all used to live together in Hancock Park in Los Angeles -- and I was looking through my records, and I happened to see a Killing Joke record. They have a song called "Sanity" with the lyric "all across the scenes, the statues crumble." Whoa! That was a powerful-ass lyric, and I took it from there. I wish it was a life story like I was walking lonely in Rome, but it's not that romantic -- we have Killing Joke to thank for that line.
