“The Pork Council is in disarray!”
A RAMBLING BROKEN NOTE

FROM THE EDITOR

Hi. How are you? Okay, enough bullshit.
Angus Magazine recently reveived some type
of funding for the Arts, which is ironic because
nobody paints worth a damn around here.
A stipulation for receiving the $250 was that
we use some print space to highlight local
Canadian talent. The recipent had to be local,
as in that could not be a Canadian living in
Cuba or in a Turkish prison. Fortuntaly for Angus
Magazine we have Mississippi Gary who is a
true music afficianda. He’s the fact-checker here
at Angus Magazine. Oddly, he has not been into
work for the lass nine months. We didn’t really
notice because his office is in a small room that
he shares with an old iron lung left behind by
the previous tenants. Turns out Mississippi Gary
is presently in a Turkish prison. Bastard never bothered telling us. So, we were stuck. Then Johnny Nicotine swaggered in and
told a story about how he was at a bar in North Bay and saw a band that tore up the place. He pitched Broken Down Lori, a
band of four humans. The thing with Johnny Nicotine is that he writes like shit and has a very short attention span. He also
swears like a motherrfucker. He carries a comb that looks like a swithcblade though, which counts for a lot round Angus County
so we dispoatched him in the company car — a wicked long stretch limo that was cool in 1986. It has a hot tub in the back but
now it just houses a few racoons. It used to be banana yellow.

So we filled the tank and set him loose down The King’s Highway 17 about three hours west from Angus County to the quaint
little fishing hamlet in Mattawa where small town intrigue abounds. Broken Down Lori’s rehersal space is a condemmed funeral
home and fish & tackle shop. His mission? To ask the tough hard hitting questions, like Lester Bangs with Lou Reed circa 1976.
Since Mississippi Gary is the go-to guy for
fact-checking and confirming sources, we
had little choice but to bypass that whole
process.
