The Junkers are big, in a small way

Read all about it on Aaron's blog, where today a surprising mention of my old band turned up.

Only rock 'n' roll

Did you know that, judging from my Site Meter statistics, a lot of folks find their way to this blog by searching for images of the musical group Juliette and the Licks? That's Juliette as in Juliette Lewis the movie star. Some years back I noted that Lewis et al. would be performing in Madison, and as a result the Googlers keep finding their way here.

Use Google to search for images of Juliette and the Licks, and you'll see why there is so much interest.
