r.i.p. fred "sonic" smith

synchronicities abound...just got home from the first day of shooting on teen a go go (which included all of "the fab four from fort worth," the elite of "one potato, two potato" fame, and elite bassist bob barnes' li'l sis) and popped in an mc5 disc when i saw my dutch pal tony slug's myspace post reminding us that today marks the 12th anniversary of fred "sonic" smith's passing at age 45. if ya don't know who sonic was, you could look him up.
