Dennis Goodman of The Northside Lounge e-mailed me this morning to point out that I got the name of the lame bar-band at the HR Derby last night wrong!
The correct name of these near-musicians is The Ataris. You know, like the video-game company.
I forgot to mention that they were still playing as their equipment was being driven off the field, like an old vaudeville act that tries to keep going even as someone offstage is giving them "the hook".
My apologies to The Ariels, who had nothing to do with last night's events and who, I'm sure, are a really good band.
