Speaking of Rick Rubin, I read in New York magazine that Genesis P. Orridge
(from Throbbing Gristle,
Psychic TV and guest appearences w/ Nikwind (& Hawkwind years ago?)) was
recently awarded $1.8 million
in a lawsuit  against Rick Rubin for injuries sustained at a fire at
Rubin's home in LA,  According to the article,
Love and Rockets was recording in Rick's studio, Genesis was hanging out, a
fire broke out, and Gen fell while
trying to escape, causing a pulmonary embolism (!) and damaged arm.

I think it's pretty lame to sue people for accidents that aren't directly
anyone's fault, and my opinion
of GPO just dropped a few notches...
