Blender Cartoon Goofs on Akron Rocker-Robber
Michael Kaminski continues to make headlines — well, sidelines — for his slide into disrepute, from guitarist of onetime buzz band Cop Shoot Cop to inept stick-up man. The Akron guitarist’s attempt to rob a fellow Rubber City resident with a cologne bottle has been now dramatized by Blender magazine, whose editors commissioned a cartoonist to illustrate their re-cap of the sad episode. See the full recreation in the May issue (with Alicia Keys on the cover), on page 22. — D.X. Ferris

Yeah, I’m pretty sure we all read this story (with the exception of the cartoon) along with the entire blog. Michael is my brother. I’ve received a letter from him to Denise Grollmus. If Scene or Denise or perhaps yourself is interested, let me know and I will send it in.
Those of us who love Michael find none of this humorous, quite the contrary. We are saddened by those who don’t even know Mike and have written such cruel things about this man. He is a kind and talented man who has taken a fall into addiction. It is so sad to see what has happened to him. If you knew him well, without the addiction, you would be hurting as well…for him. It hurts to read what has been written by those who have no idea who he is. Will you be there when he makes a come back? We will.
