I partied with the guys from 80's MTV darlings Kix (the 'official house band of Baltimore, MD') in a Pizza Hut parking lot, back before they had their fifteen minutes of hair metal fame. We were all from the same neck of the woods, and they were still just a regional band playing some local beer puke/venereal disease dive across the river. They were pretentious even then, and this was before Fast Times At Ridgemont High even hit the theaters. (Remember that movie?) Here's a lesson in comeuppance for you: back when their career fizzled when grunge came charging down the plains, one of the guys, Nobel Laureate that he was - his name escapes me - ended up riding a cherry picker and painting billboards to pay his rent. Lesson here: ALWAYS keep your skill sets honed enough to have a dignified backup career.

I had a college roommate from Baltimore....He played nothing but Kix and Crack the Sky.
