Greetings,
In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://www.perfectsoundforever.com>, you'll find (among other things):
NICK DIDKOVSKY
Interview- metal intellect by J. Vognsen
"For more than three decades, guitarist and composer Nick Didkovsky has built a unique body of work from his hometown of New York. While spanning many styles and expressions, a recurring theme in his music is the meeting of high complexity with no-nonsense hard-hitting energy. He also frequently explores both contemporary composition and improvisation in parallel. Since 1983 Didkovsky has led Doctor Nerve, a large-scale group whose output manages to explore huge parts of his creative universe, often in a single piece of music. Recently, Didkovsky played on Alice Cooper's 2017 album Paranormal.<P>"
HEAVY METAL'S POLITICS
A liberal bend there by T.K. McNeil
"Heavy Metal is not known for being subtle or politically incorrect. The satirical depiction of Heavy Metal fans presented in films such as Wayne's World</I> and FUBAR are depressingly accurate at least with regard to America in the 1980's and early-1990's. Heavy Metal was outside the mainstream and they knew it."
MATTHEW TRIPPE
Motley Crue's secret member by Ed Turner
"The Troubadour, LA's Sunset Strip. Early 1983. Mid-afternoon. This is where the story of The Man Who Would Be Nikki Sixx begins. And, in a way, ends. Matthew John Trippe had arrived in Los Angeles the year before. The 19 year old Erie, Pennsylvania native had long nurtured dreams of becoming a rock star, and would board a Greyhound bus that summer, bound for LA, intent on becoming one. While he arrived in Los Angeles with little in the way of personal belongings, in a deeper sense, Matthew Trippe would never quite leave behind the baggage of a childhood and upbringing riddled with self-doubt, pockmarked by his own sense of hopelessness." <P>
We also have a Spotify playlist with most of the artists above here:

We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.
See you online,
Jason
