The RIVERSIDE Scene

| | | | | | | | |

Nelson, Scott and Dan

Drinkin, Smokin, and cranking the guitar

Riverside in the late 70's , early 80's had an entire scene of its own..........Nelson Goodman, Scott McCormack, Gina Boyd, Tiffany Fouke, Selina Phanara, Zoanne, David James, Laurie Gordon, and lots of others all made the scene what it has become today.

Nelson is now living in the Hawaiian Islands.

Scott is doing his part to De-Mormanize Salt Lake City.

Dan is hiding out in the forests of Montana.

David (aka Vid Kadavre) has gone on to play for the Portland based powerhouse band Bettie Mayhem and the Disasters.... Look for them soon on the MP3 page.

Nothing could replace 'pimping' Tyrolia wine outside Circle K............or drinking it in the tubes at Jefferson Elementary. Nothing could replace walking walls. Nothing could replace coffee at Denny's or walking down St. John's totally naked at 3:00 am.

Nothing could replace the smell of Orange blossoms.....or being threatened by the police for 'Illegal use of horn!"

Nothing could ever replace partying in the Orange Groves.......... or the tinkling sound of smashing an empty 12 pack of Lucky Lager beer bottles by casting it out on the side of the freeway at 75 miles per hour.

Nothing like the WHITE TRASH symbol graphitied on the underpass that stayed there for months if not years. Nothing like the BLACK DOTS that we used as markers around Riverside. Nothing could replace a punk rock cassette playing while having sex in the passenger seat. Or a bottle of pink champagne in the dark with your girlfreind.

Nothing could replace Devo..............Or Fear..............or even Scotts zepplin days.

Alot of intertwining lives that have made us who we have become.

ehem..............send me something.................
