I was just talking to Mike down in Texas. He was expressing displeasure at Michigan's new trend to send our undesirable materials down there. You see, Detroit's "beloved" former mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, now out of the slammer, has taken up residence in Dallas.
The man who helped wreck the city financially has been ordered to pay the city $1 million in restitution and has no job, yet managed to leave the jail with an entourage of bodyguards in SUVs and fly to Dallas on a private jet.
I have a feeling the city shouldn't hold its breath waiting for that money.
Kilpatrick joins Ted Nugent, another Michigan export, in Texas, but I doubt they hang out together that much.
I got some sad news this morning. Lux Interior, the lead singer of the Cramps, died yesterday. He was 62.
I saw them in 2003, and this guy was ageless.
His death marks the one celebrity death that has bothered me the most since Joe Strummer I think.
Man, it's a sign when all of the punk idols start dying from old age, innit?
I wrote my full thoughts on it here.
