I thought I might shed a little light on the Maureen Tucker end of things from that little announcement: As I recall it, Ani Cordero (who was to be playing drums for those Atlanta shows) was in a band with and good friends with a guy who had done some studio work with Mo. Totally unprompted, it was suggested that it might be possible to get her to sit in as she lived close by, in Covington or some place. I don’t even know if Ani knew of Pat’s love for the VU! In any case, it never materialized, and I felt so bad for Pat because I know he would’ve really liked that. I didn’t realize that David J was also a possible guest.
