My understanding is that Tommy Roe's "Dizzy" has 11 key changes. https://www.stereogum.com/2023331/the-number-ones-tommy-roes-dizzy/columns/the-number-ones/
Nah, I can't pretend to be who I'm not. If I'd been Tommy these past 35 years, I'd be wearing gold chains and getting neck tattoos and shit. Maybe I'd be working on the docks instead of writing this column. Tom is who I am.
Part of it is cuz I live near there, which means I pay closer attention. But also, RVA has had a historically great punk/metal/hardcore scene since the 80s, and I don't really know why that is beyond, like, colleges and cheap rents.
I shouldn't have talked about the man's weight. I don't really like the way I talked about artists' appearances when I was younger. As for the rest, I was right on all of it and I take nothing back.
There was a guy wilding out in there who was like 6'7", and I was like "well, shit, my face is no longer safe."
Wasn't a headbutt exactly, was more like my head was moving forward and his was moving backward.
Genuinely surprised at all the comments that preferred the rating at the bottom of the article! I honestly never thought of myself as a suspenseful writer!
I like the way the new design looks, and it took FUCKING FOREVER to move a bunch of the old columns over to the new design over the weekend. But I dunno, we can talk about it internally over here and see what we wanna do.
