Bob Pfeifer (even though he already snitched) looks like he'll be sentenced (to prison?) next month.

I was hosting a show on the campus post-punk radio station at the time. They didn't impress me much at the time--I was into tunes much more over-the-top--but it all sounds better with the passage of time.

But in my era (after The Pretenders and Devo; during Donnie Iris, before Nine Inch Nails) The Twist Offs, The Numbers Band and local reggae bands were packing the bars. But what can I say, I didn't discover Pere Ubu until about a week ago. Weird – I went to Kent State University and have never heard of this band.

A dubious character at best, he wormed his way up the music biz food chain probably employing the very same tactics that ultimately led him to incarceration in a California prison - where he sang like a canary (his best vocal ever!) in an effort to save his own skin. He had nothing to do with the Queen catalog deal at Hollywood and actually nothing otherwise positive to contribute to the industry at large. Let's not let Pfiefer off quite so easily.
