September Feature Band: Strangers

Posted on September 1, 1990 (August 28, 2022) by Alton Barnhart

One minute Strangers’ music will sound like the 70s hard-driving rock n’ roll, and then will move to a number which could have been influenced by The English Beat. This diversity keeps their music interesting. … read more

Jojo’s Corner: September 1990

Posted on September 1, 1990 (June 20, 2022) by Alton Barnhart

I believe the best groupies are not in Salt Lake but in Peoa. They just don’t know it because nobody played there. I think the White House should be painted purple and gold and rededicated as a “theme park” for Prince and Cher fans. I believe Professor Griff should fill the empty seat on the
