Whatever happened to the musical duo the Jesus Twins? Who here liked their
music?

They broke up and one of the twins showed up unannounced sporting a short
haircut. He refused to answer Howard's questions (I think he was almost in a
psychotic fuge). He rushed out of the studio and assaulted (well, push hard)
Melrose on his way out the door.

Damn, that's funny...they must come from money to get so crazy. No
responsibilities can do that to people.

Wasn't there an anti-Jesus Twins site at one time? I seem to remember the
webmaster was in some kind of legal fight because he registered the name
jesustwins.com or something very close to it. I tried to look for it, and all
I found were a few offical Jesus Twins sites. Complete with bad lyrics, cut
hair and intimidating-looking 5 o'clock shadows.

They were more annoying than Robin's forced laugh or her finishing
Howard's sentences. I wish she'd shut up once in a while, and let
Howard yell at his staff -- that's my favorite part of the radio show.

I remember that: that was scary. Thanks for posting that article, Anon. What
I'd also like to know is what happened to the agent?
