I
was a promotions director for WCSB and we sponsored a benefit,
with a few bands, at the old Pop Shop. Crawling from the Wreckage
was one of the bands. The night was going well until the lead
singer, Robbie Spira (aka Robbie Christ) disappeared. Turns
out one of the thick-necked bouncers from the Agora wasn't
a fan of Crawling from the Wreckage's version of "Entering
Jesus from the Rear" and had taken him outside to beat
him up. He also had a problem with Robbie calling himself
Christ. Fun Times. The next day, I called the Agora and tried
to get the bouncer fired. His name/nickname was Slavo. Slavo,
if you're out there, I still hate your guts.

That "Jesus"
song also managed to get both Crawling and The Gorbals kicked
out of the Fountain Lounge in Akron. I think Gizelle, the
club's booking agent, was fired after that night. Way to go
Robbie!
