[Trash-talk] New Magazine Sighting!!!!!!!!

[Alan Hoppe]

Thank you for posting the story write-up, April. That was fun to read! I
love it .. Shirley gets to meet Deborah Harry .. actually gets to tour with
her (with GMMK). I get a kick out of that, because it would be like any of
us here meeting / touring with / having a write-up with Garbage or Shirley.
Well, most of us. For Mr. BlisteringHeat, it would be him and the Datsuns ;)

And it seems like lightning has struck at least twice for Shirley in this
department. I always think the same thing when I think of her and Chrissie
Hynde. They did a really great interview together for a UK magazine .. can't
remember offhand what it was. But that was another person/band that Shirley
really really loved.

Out of curiosity, how big is the picture of Shirley and Deborah H? Is the
whole article two pages? Or is it two pages of just Shirley/Deborah? I'll
know soon enough - I should find it tomorrow (fingers crossed).
