MUSIC: Condition critical
Kevin Dubrow, the lead singer of Quiet Riot just died, and yet nobody has made the "Condition Critical" joke yet. See, that was the title of the band's second major label album, and it's "ironic" given Dubrow's passing...
Eh, it always sucks when someone dies. While QR had little connection to New York, you can make a case that the band popularized heavy metal in the 80s, which means it's sorta relevant to everyone. Was that a good thing? Probably not, although as a former metalhead, I can remember buying "Condition Critical" and "Metal Health" and thinking that...there were maybe three good songs on them total (and two were Slade covers).
Also, Kevin's all over that VH1 Classic documentary "Metal", which has rerun numerous times (including this past weekend). Anyway, RIP, Mr. Dubrow.
