Stick Against Stone
Posted on August 21, 2010
I received news that Dick Vitale passed away in July.
Dick was founder (or one of the founders) of Stick Against Stone. Dick had also been the drummer of The Dark, one of my favorite bands in the early days of the punk music.
The handful of anecdotes I could share about Dick Vitale, taken out-of-context, would probably not honor his memory.
A guy named Will Kreth is working on a documentary about Stick Against Stone.
(For all I know, the film is finished and has been screened all around the world. Will Kreth interviewed me several times over the phone and a couple of times on camera, but I never signed the releases so I don't expect to be in the film. I guess my memories are too precious to me to hand over to a stranger who intends to hand them over to other strangers. And I can't get myself to go to any of the websites dedicated to the music of the era. To hear those recordings only tarnishes the memory, at least for me.)
It would be nice if every person that ever danced at a concert by Rusted Root had the opportunity to hear and appreciate Stick Against Stone.
