Must say that the writer got the story wrong. A girl that I lived with had been getting sucked into Kim Fowley's vortex and I was pretty vocal about my distaste for the arrangement. So Fowley paid this poor schmuck named Erik the Red like twenty bucks to hose me down with water while I was plugged into an SVT with open coil pickups. So I immediately dropped the bass, and in the frenzy that people get into when somebody almost killed them, I hit poor Erik in the head with the base of a mic stand causing a lifelong scar. I'm not saying we didnt suck, just that our sucking was not the reason I got hosed down. Erik actually apologized years later and still had the scar.
