Good lord!  I can't believe that anyone remembers that band (the
mid/late-80s all-male Bags from Boston, not the late-70s mostly-female LA
band).  Although given the locale I wouldn't be surprised if mr. DASLUD
knew (of?) 'em.  Yes, they were the "other" Bags ... thanks for reminding
me of one of the "mediocre underground rock bands of the 80s" ... Painted
Willie (who I saw open for the Butthole Surfers back in 86 or so), anyone?
