PLEASE BUY A SHIRT FROM QUESTION MARK AND HELP OUT A LEGEND

? and the Mysterians. "96 Tears". Quite possibly the best garage song of all time.

Question Mark (yes, it's his legal name) has headed the legendary Mysterians since the mid-60s and has been covered by many people, The Stranglers namely. Well, Question Mark needs some help:

I'm sorry to bother you, but a emergency has just come up. ? & The Mysterians, has had a HUGE tragedy, We need to get the word out to fans and friends. This past Tuesday night, ?'s home in Clio, MI. that he has lived in with his manager and manager's wife, since 1967, burned down taking with it 4 of his 7 Yorkies, his parrot and everything they have ever owned including his gold records, laptop containing all his downloaded material, photos, posters, all his stage clothes, every single thing he owns. He was in the basement doing laundry when he smelled smoke. He ran upstairs in time to rescue three of his seven Yorkies, two of whom are blind, but could not save the others. They are uninsured and living in their tour bus in the yard, next to their barn as they also raise pigs, chickens and a few other farm animals. I would be interested in putting together a benefit for him, but as of this moment I am looking for some help in getting the word out for donations. Winter is finally baring down on us this week and living in the bus with four adults and three old Yorkies is going to be tough. They don't have clothing, dishes, basic needs as of this moment and at his age to rebuild, (he is in his sixties) is going to be very difficult. He is devasted at the loss of his precious pups and I'm just trying to get him by until he can mentally handle the devistation. The fire department told him it was a electrical fire.

Please contact me and let me know if you can put the word out. Something, anything would be appreciated. If anyone would be interested in helping us do a benefit or something, please contact us asap. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Question Mark also had a few hundred shirts in his van and he's trying to sell them as well. $25 a shirt (includes shipping). Email Marla and she'll tell you where/how to send payment.

I almost died in a house fire once but our dogs woke us up and got us out. We lost practically everything, but no lives or real livelihood. My heart goes out to you, Question Mark.

96 Tears?

As in "Cry, Cry, Cry! 96 tears", that song?

Toss up the paypal link as soon as it comes and I'll send some scratch when I can dig it up.

I wonder if that works, or if it's just subliminal - to keep those product names in our subconscious vocabularies?

Come to O'Reilly's Holy Grail tonight (Saturday January 20th) at 8 pm, Pop Ren. We are going to meet there and have a few drinks with my cousin who is a bartender there. Then we move on to wherever.

AG got outbid in the bachelor auction. AG is clearly undedicated to the Chuckles.

AG got outbid and the site fucked her too. It was like, oh nevermind...

AG is forever dedicated to the Pop Star, even if he is married like her lover, Fish.
