THE EYE HAS PASSED

Well this certainly sucks. Lorna Doom, Teresa Ryan to her parents, passed away a couple weeks ago. Cancer. She was the bass player in the Germs. She outlived Darby Crash, the singer who took his own life, by thirty nine years. She always impressed me as the quiet one, over to the left, in the shadows. I saw them a few times back in the day and it always seemed that when things got chaotic, which was often, she was relatively calm. Might just be an impression distorted by time. Regardless, she was my favorite. She was in a good band, the only women in the band, and it didn't hurt that she was easy on the eyes. But it was the whole package, a presence more than anything else. Her obit at the NY Times made it sound like she had a decent post-Germs life. Good for her.
