[kj] Ex-Germs & 45 Grave drummer exonerated of drug charges

[Leigh Newton]

I heard about this last week. Glad he's getting off. He is, by all accounts, a true weirdo but he's left some great music in his wake.

That photo looks like it's from the Celebrity Skin reunion show that took place a little while ago. They were an awesome band, back in the day (late 80s/early 90s). Pat Smear was in it briefly as well. Check out their album Good Clean Fun.

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:
