Musicians can be such degenerates. If you wanna count on someone to let you down, look to a guy in a band. Yet, when things get tough, and things like health apply the suction, musicians are there steadfast and true.

Don Robertson of Idol Management just sent me this press release on a Dec. 22 benefit for Jerry Allen at Hell's Kitchen.  Besides the incredible line up, let's all be there to help out Jerry. â€" Brad Allen

• Don Robertson writes: A benefit show for Jerry Allen’s Cancer fund was announced today, featuring an all-star lineup of northwest bands.  Jerry Allen is a good friend of Justin McDonald (Top Heavy Crush, The Jet City Fix) and Geoff Reading (LOADED, New American Shame, Top Heavy Crush). When they found out Jerry had cancer and that insurance wouldn’t cover all the expenses they decided to help. Headlining the show will be the reunion of LOADED featuring front man Duff McKagen of Velvet Revolver and former Guns ‘n Roses. Also returning to the stage with Loaded are Geoff Reading of New American Shame, Top Heavy Crush, Jeff Rouse of Alien Crime Syndicate and Sirens Sister, and Mike Squires of Alien Crime Syndicate and The Long Winters.
