FROM FIRST AVE:
Rest In Peace, Monty Lee Wilkes.


 FROM RIOT FEST: 

When [Nirvana] told an angry Wilkes they smashed a TV in a hotel room because they couldn’t get the window open to throw it out, the unimpressed tour manager famously replied, “A real punk-rock band would’ve thrown it through the window.”
