Jon Coley: The Kerouac of Kmart

Why has this local man been dubbed with this title?

Because he asked me, very nicely, to start referring to him as that. For those who don't know, Jon Coley is the promoter at Jerry's Pizza & Pub. I stopped by there for a story Saturday night after going to the symphony orchestra (which was great. Bravo, John Farrer & Co.!). While I was there Jon and I chatted about the newspaper business and I got to check out The Ettes, a band out of LA who are ... fantastic. They were totally 80s in a good, hot n' dirty Detroit rock way. And the drumer had Sheila E.'s hair, circa 1984.



How cool is that? Totally makes me want to dump the 'fro and break out the perm rods. Although they're supposed to be a girl band and totally had some dude playing bass, they were still hot as hell. I've been listening to their CD all day at work. I love every track.



The Ettes are hot! Love 'em!
