Better to Regret Something You Did...

...than something you didn't do.

I've been remiss in not saying anything about this really good story that appeared recently about one of my favorite bands, Green Day, and its Arkansas connection. Writing in the Arkansas Times, Joy Ritchey describes her relationship with former North Little Rock resident Jason White, who now plays guitar on tour for the band (kind of the fifth Beatle, if you will).

Joy, aka ARMedia, writes an intense first-person account of her and White's friendship (highlight: making out to the Beastie's "Paul's Boutique") and the band's international superstar status today compared with a 1992 appearance at Vino's in LR. Speaking of, I see Joy's ARMedia site, which has provided incisive and sometimes caustic analysis of local media, has gone dark. Or at least she says she's done. Sorry to see that. Unless it means she's going to a full time writing gig.

For The Love of Green Day [Ark Times]
