  3. Odd question for your Mentors'-hooded self:

    On that mix tape you burned for me ages ago: the disturbing ramble about burning a guy alive and watching the look in his eyes as he realized he was dying - was that El Duce of The Mentors? It seems to me as if there were some Mentors songs on that tape, but it's been ages.

    Just morbid curiosity. Thanks!

  4. That was indeed El Duce, but it's from an album by Gardy-Loo called "Perverts On Parade." El Duce had parted ways with the Mentors at that point and was scooped up by Gardy-Loo shortly before his fateful date with a train.

  5. Cool. Thank you - thought so. That would explain why I couldn't find it.

    Y'know, the Mentors are still together here in Seattle, and played a gig locally roughly a year age. Not sure if I'd want to see 'em or not...

  6. Good gods! I actualy FOUND "Perverts on Parade" on itunes. Thanks... I think.

    Oh, thanks also for your shout-out to "Empowered." I bought Vol. 1 yesterday, and we found it laugh-out-loud funny... and more touching than we would have expected. Count me a fan of a book I would not have given a second look to otherwise. Cheers!
