The wife and I made the trip downtown to go see the original group perform during Winter Blast last Friday. As with many people, I am a huge fan and looked forward to this show as soon as it was announced. When you are going to see an “oldies” act you sometimes worry that it will not be as electric as a more current act. This is defiantly not the case with the Mysterians. ? is as energetic a performer as any 16 year old. One of the highlights for me was them doing Sally Go Round the Roses. If you have not heard, ? had a devastating fire that destroyed his home and took the life of his dogs. Unfortunately he had no insurance and is living out of a camper. Due to the fire touring around to help ? out, so catch them if you can. This Video tells the sad story of the fire.

This was a really great show. I was surprised that they played for so long because it was free. They did at least 8 songs and an encore. Afterwards ? was out signing autographs and talking to people, so I thought that was pretty cool as well. I would certainly tell everyone to go to one of their benefit concerts, they truly need the donations and the show will be well worth the money.

That was a nice thing you two did in going. And it seems like it was enjoyable.
It is a shame that ? was hustled his way out of the rights to his song 96 Tears. It had been covered many times and is a classic 60s garage song. It’s known for it’s groundbreaking use of the organ.
Cousins Vinyl pays our respect. It is sad that ? lost some dogs in the fire. I think he will bounce back under the spirit and support of the good ol’ rock ‘n roll fans out there.
