Really-From: Patrick J. Waara <Waara.wbst@Xerox.COM> >o Does Fear's old lead singer now act? I've seen Lee do all sorts of acting from movies to "Fame". He always plays an asshole (I wonder why...). He's still their lead singer by the way. >o Is there a record with "I Love Living in the City" > that is reasonably easy to get? It's on FEAR's first album _Record_ made in '84. It should be easy enough to find. I still see it around now and again. It's a good album too. >o If someone remembers the lyrics, could they mail them to me? > There pretty amusing, it might justify a posting. According > to Usenet copyright regulations, of course. I don't know the lyrics off hand, but they are pretty clear on the album--you should be able to pick them off it if you buy a copy. You might be interested to know that John Belushi helped write that particular song. He thought that FEAR was one of the best bands ever and hung out with Derf Scratch quite a bit. It was Belushi who talked NBC into putting FEAR on SNL for their Halloween show, where one of FEAR's thrashing fans grabbed the mike and yelled "Fuck New York! Fuck New York!"--still one of my favorite SNL's ~Pat
