It's waaaaaaaaaaaay too late for me to be doing anything, never mind blogging, but I'm upset. It was announced today by the goddess herself that Exene Cervenka has multiple-sclerosis. I am devastated. It might not seem like a big deal to somebody who has maintained a life outside of punk-rock, but this is an incredible moment. Exene was not only the first female punk singer, she remains the archetype for any and every girl with the balls to front a band. It should also be pointed out that she is the ex-wife of one of our greatest living actors, Viggo Mortenson. They have a child together, Henry, who is now 21.
Cervenka and the legendary John Doe were planning an X reunion for the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. Please give what you can, as I will. Any distasteful jokes/references will be met with boot-to-balls. No exceptions.
