    Did I miss Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious? I'll throw out Lee Ving of Fear and Poly Styrene of the late, great X-Ray Spex. Oh bondage, up yours!

    Had the opp to work with Geddy on a commercial couple years ago...helluva nice guy, quiet, dryly funny, respectful of everyone from director down to lowest grip, INSANE baseball/fantasy baseball fanatic...and you prob know the story of his "Geddy" name, but it came from his mother who had a crazy-thick Polish accent and would call down to him/his friends playing loud music in the basement -- "Geddy! Geddy!" ("Gary! Gary!" in her accent). The name stuck...
