Sr's rule was ended through being shot by a poet. Jr was eventually deposed before he too was assassinated. It is perhaps not too harsh to say that such fates were not undeserved.

Sienkiewicz is a fun and dark comic artist. He's a little odd.

Awesome. I have those JFK cards, and a ton of Sienkiewicz comics, graphic novels and trade paperbacks. We tried to get him to do a simple ink or pencil sketch of the band for the last Technician CD (something like the sketch he did of The Police in his published sketchbook, but less detailed), but he wanted more money for that than it cost us to make the entire CD itself from start to finish, so it never happened. The fucking thing would have probably taken him like twenty minutes to do from a photograph, but no -- he had to get his agent involved -- what a prima donna.

what's really funny is the marks from the strings on the pickups.

Mine is one of the two toilets in the men's room at the original Brown St. location of Geno's, The oldest running punker dive bar in Portland, Maine. The building that it's in has since been converted into really expensive "Artist's Loft" style Condos. --Like any of the artists that I know can actually afford one.
