Meat Puppets Love Liars

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:44:52 GMT

Meat Puppets Love Liars: Derrick Bostrom of the Meat Puppets told us about his Liars experience.Derrick Bostrom: The Liars were no one you’ve ever heard of; just three older guys from another high school who we used to buy pot from. One day they decided to start a punk rock band. Back in late seventies Phoenix, that could earn you a severe beating if you weren’t careful. Imagine my shock when they showed up at my high school for a lunch time performance! Turns out, a friend of mine tricked both the school and the band into doing the show, which, of course the students hated.But I was awestruck by The Liars. I don’t suppose you’d hear it any more – the passing of time having made what was so special about them commonplace now – but this was thirty-five years ago. Imagine if Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath had joined the Ramones and they played prog-punk arrangements of Leif Garrett’s “That’s Rock And Roll” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams.” Th...

Alameda County recall changes tabled after ‘power grab’ accusations

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:44:52 GMT

As the Alameda County Board of Supervisors considers changing their recall procedures, some residents have begun to question whether the move is an earnest effort to modernize the county charter or a blatant power grab.“This repeal is much, much more extensive than the county is presenting to the public,” said Jason Bezis, an attorney for the Alameda County Taxpayers Association. “It’s overreaching, what they’re trying to do.”Questions first arose in October after the county’s lawyer, Donna Ziegler, prepared a report highlighting problems with the county’s current recall rules for elected and appointed officials. According to Ziegler, the county’s laws contained decades-old procedures that were “a detriment to ensuring lawful, competent, and timely recalls.” Her report recommended that the county adopt the state’s recall language instead.Related ArticlesCalifornia Politics | Here’s the first glimpse of who is spending money to oust Alameda County DA Pamela Price ...
