Yes he was kind of an asshole, but I was too in those days, so I guess I can't throw stones. And it doesn't matter now anyway.
I'm not on Facebook so I didn't see that. I looked online and I found one short thing where someone said he died of COVID complications. Is that true?
Christina was in Raul, which was another early First Strike band, and is friends with a lady who was in Juliet Slip, another early First Strike band, but I never saw either of them. I think First Strike was kind of ruined for me by the guys in the Kingpins. The SJ band that almost got signed was the Endmen - the singer ignored overtures from the label. They and Dot3 were probably the biggest bands then, and both were ended by mental problems of band members - the singer for the Endmen (later killed himself) and the bass/stick player from Dot3. I was bummed about Dot3. They could have been big, at least on the jam band circuit or something. Another band not in First Strike that I liked was 3D Jesus (great band name) but they didn't play much. And those girls from Kooch Bahar were cute.
Incidentally Christina's ex-boyfriend was the bass player for the Endmen, and after we once opened for them, he said she should go see us, and that we sounded sort of like the Meat Puppets, which I'll take as a fine compliment.
