City Paper:

We’re big Dead Milkmen fans here at City Paper — the punk rock legends provided the soundtrack to our awkward adolescence. And we’re big fans of their frontman, Rodney Anonymous, too. Rodney cracks us up with his monthly Aid or Invade column (it’s supposedly about world music), but we’ve been looking for an excuse to really turn him loose. When we heard that the Milkmen were officially back in the picture — playing shows, making new music — and blowing it out with a big Halloween bash at the Troc, we gave him a word count and set him free.

There are a thousand reasons why I should have declined the offer to pen this piece, foremost being my firm belief that the only place where musicians should be encouraged to write is on bathroom walls.
