I think what Michael is refering to is that the guitar players from
Reed's _Rock and Roll Animal_ LP later played w/ Alice (an I've forgoten
their names).

I also think that your selling Alice, Ig and the Dream Syndicate short
if you're gonna lump'em as VU derivatives.  Alice (along w/ the NY Dolls)
defined Glam/Trash Rock, up until about _Billion Dollar Babies_, and
_Fun House_ (Stooges) shutdown the VU for full sonic reduction.

For Dream Syndicate fans, Karl Percoda has left the group, replaced
by Paul Cutler (x-45 Grave, Vox Pop, BPeople).  I saw 'em tonight,
and the sound is a lot fuller and rhythmic.  Expect a new album in
September.
