Subject: A good sign?

"I Can Only Give You Everything" is a cover (is this going to be a '60s tribute album?). I believe Them did it first, as did the MC5, which is probably why the Romantics are paying homage to it. I think "Paint the Sky" may be the most fresh-sounding thing I've heard from the Romantics in a while. And I'm hoping this is a sign that things are kicking back up again. The timing is strange, though, 'cause I wrote something kind of fun that I wanted to share. Oh well, I think it's still timely ... and remember, it's all in FUN.

LOCAL BAND, WHICH FOUND WORLDWIDE SUCCESS IN THE ‘80s, DISAPPEARS

DETROIT (AP) -- January 15, 2002 – Local authorities are puzzled by the strange disappearance this month of an entire rock band.

The Romantics, a band whose three Top 40 singles – “What I Like About You,” “Talking in Your Sleep” and “One in a Million” – charted in the U.S. and abroad during the 1980s, hail from Detroit and had reportedly been working on releasing a new album before their unexplained disappearance.

“It was very weird,” said Peter Palamarchuk, brother to the band’s lead singer, Wally Palmar. “One minute the group is playing shows regularly and doing interviews to promote their new album, and the next thing we know we haven’t heard a word from them in months. Mom is real upset.”

Even the band’s Web site, at www.romanticsdetroit.com, went stagnant, according to reports. Asked for comment, Irene DeCook, who maintains the Web site, said, “I don’t know what happened. It was rolling along fine, then Poof! I tried to call Wally and he didn’t answer. I haven’t heard from him since I don’t know when.”

“We have no idea what happened,” said Sgt. Joe Thursday of the Detroit Police Department’s missing persons department. “There don’t appear to be any clues. It’s as if they just vanished into thin air. We are treating this as an active case and will follow normal procedure, however. If these ‘Romantics’ still exist, we will find them.”

The band consists of: Palmar, lead vocalist; Coz Canler, lead guitar; Mike Skill, bass; and Clem Burke, drums. The new release, according to sources close to the group, was to be titled In the Shadow of Hastings Street.

Anyone with information leading to the whereabouts of the Romantics should contact the Webmistress. And if you know where Linda Foster is, let us know that too.
