A 20 + year fanzine and newspaper columnist as well as author and influential punk/hardcore musician Tabb's been a well documented activist since the beginning of the World Trade Center illnesses even before he himself knew he was sick which is by no means a local issue, but an issue of humanity, please help him with what he wants to accomplish (beside the wanting to stay alive part)
TABB'S FRIENSHIP, TALENT AND CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLDWIDE LITERARY AND MUSIC PUNK/HARDCORE SCENE AND IN REGARDS TO ENCOURAGING OTHERS IN WHAT THEY WANT TO ACCOMPLISH SHOULD NOT GO UNNOTICED AT A TIME LIKE THIS, look him up please. Help save a true definition of DIY by slapping a banner up on your page and to give him a bigger platform for what he's been shouting about in regards to others who aren't as punk rock loud as him for the last almost 7 and a half years (drop a line to this page for banner codes), Thanks! -Monica

I'm a Musician/self appointed girl friday. ........Meanwhile.........I wanna be as cool and talented and fearless like Paul Caporino from M.O.T.O I've also got a big crush on Bud Schulberg, Damon Runyan, Ben Hecht and Rod Serling..............been making up lyrics/singing in a band called The Obituaries (still around) since 1986 and a couple other bands since then, am also in a couple music duos, trios, and I write songs on the piano because the first time I ever really touched a piano the right person happened to walk into the room with encouraging words (Regina LaRocca) as opposed to maybe somebody coming in who would've made me feel stupid.
Here's a whole bunch of music I've written/co-written and sing for anyone interested:
I've decided I want to be powerful and It never hurts to ask for what you decide you want.
Other than that, the best advice
was Rob saying '"Sing this song like it's the last song anybody's ever gonna let you sing" and I like
being friends with just about everybody anywhere.
Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy, Jimmy Cagney, The Bowery Boys.....
