Shirley Manson is not from around these parts, but the rest of Garbage are hometown boys.
Right before the Garbage single for the Bond movie (The World is Not Enough) I ran into Duke Erikson at the old Bucks Bar in Madison. I teased him that since they were going to be releasing a Bond single they could one day hope to be big like Duran Duran.
To further brag on the homies - they used to be a local band called Spooner. I saw them a couple of times as an underage kid in the bars. (The drinking age was 18 then - not so shocking)
Jess Wundrun: Wow! You actually know the band! Color me very impressed. Very, very cool. That is a pretty funny joke, the Duran Duran bit. Kind of cruel, though! Can you get me Shirley Manson's autograph? I am glad you are no longer tempted to commit any more underage drinking.
Dr Z! You've done it again. You ability to spot band and singers that I like is uncanny. Of course us being both non-humans might have something to do with it. Just watched Cherry Lips. What a great voice she has! Thanks! Spocko
Dr. Zira, I must caution you. Experimental brain surgery on these creatures is one thing, and I'm all in favor of it. But to suggest that we can learn anything about the simian nature from a study of man is sheer nonsense. Man is a menace, a walking pestilence. He eats up his food supply in the forest, then migrates to our green belts and ravages our crops. The sooner he is exterminated, the better. It's a question of simian survival.

We do seem to have similar tastes! I am sure that it is the fact that neither of us are human. Thanks for the link over at your blog!
