In regard to the last 2 comments made, can i say that although i have lost touch with jon vance, i have known him since 1986-87 when moss icon 1st started.(i always thought it was "nothing like a nigger before the dawn" but i could be wrong as well)
just to give you a little background: before moss icon started jon used to go to punk shows in very run down sections of baltimore city, and the "locals" did not like seeing the colorful punxs from the suburbs, and i think he got beatup by some blacks,yet i never remember him being racist because of it.this was relected in the lyrics to a song called sorrw, which for those who know of the demo tape will know of the song.also, jon`s 1st wife who he had a child with was black.the lyrics and moss icon transcend anything as low as racism.
marcus laurence ( orignal drummer moss icon 87-91)
ps. one thing that most people do not know and was never publicized, jon is directly related to edgar allen poe.
