Re: April issue of Gig Magazine - Pittsburgh Content
They had a photo of some Elvis impersonator, but not one mention of Paul Ameritwang (unless he IS the Elvis impersonator). That was most likely the one and only Frankie Capri. Ms. Stephanie and I took Paul to see his "show" after Lydia Lunch's opening (art opening, what else?). Paul has never been the same. Also, this Iggy thing has me all worked up. I've been listening to "The Idiot" and "Lust for Life" since Sunday night. Could a cover of "Give Me Danger" be far off? One of my great brushes with fame was Iggy bumming a smoke off of me, the other was going to high school with the brother of the guy who made the ham sandwich that choked Mama Cass.

One of our local record labels put out a compilation recently called "Pop O.D.", which is basically a bunch of local bands, most of whom are members of the local Detroit Musicians Alliance (gag!), covering Iggy songs. Jeez, you'd think the local press had just gotten their hands on the next "Sgt. Pepper." Nothing but praise for it, but you talk to the locals, and none of them have even considered purchasing it. I've listened to it, and believe me, I'll stick with the original. Mitch Matthews Gravel Train/Sunken Road
April issue of Gig Magazine - Pittsburgh Content
Hey, the April issue of Gig Magazine (that how-to rag for working musicians that Matt Benz swears by, or is it swears at) has Pittsburgh featured as its monthly city guide. Boy, when they mentioned those cole slaw/French fry sandwiches at Primanti Bros., my heart skipped a beat (and my stomach growled to the tune of a Hank Williams song). They had a photo of some Elvis impersonator, but not one mention of Paul Ameritwang (unless he IS the Elvis impersonator). Mitch Matthews Gravel Train (new drummer!)/Sunken Road
