"More Shred, Less Suck!"

First a few frequently asked questions that arose after last month's issue:

Q: What the hell is this?
A: It's the monthly Quid newsletter, dumbass.

Q: Why does Quid need a newsletter?
A: We don't, but since we only play live every few months, this keeps us on 
the map and informs all of our wonderful fans when there's a new song 
available on our MP3.com site.

Q: Do you have a life?
A: Not that I'm aware of.

Now, the information you can't live without:

QUID LIVE AT THE M.H.S. TALENT SHOW!!!

Friday, March 22, 2002

7:00 PM - $5.00
Madison High School
Ridgedale Avenue, Madison, NJ

Other bands include: Limewheel, Unclassified, Hudson, Avery and a bunch 
more. Proceeds benefit the fat wallets of the MHS senior class. Come for 
Quid, stay for Sean Growley.

Also, it looks like we'll be playing at the Madison Community House on June 
1st with other assorted local bands. Details aren't final yet, but the 
place is booked, so it looks like it's happening. Danno from Limewheel 
continues to work on his show, which should happen sometime in April.

Our latest recording efforts involve "Jack of the Shadows" which is about 
half finished. We'll play our new one ("Dead Center") at the talent show, 
so practice counting your 7-9-7-11, kiddies.

Now a word from Brian:

Hey kids, time for a reality check with Brian 'Jivedog' Anderson...

"History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times of 
urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to endure."
-- Justice Thurgood Marshall, Skinner v. Railway Labor Executives' Assn. 
(1989)

Wow, Thurgood, I couldn't have said it better myself. Everyone's been having 
a good time making fun of George W. and his vocabulary, but I find it 
amusing that no one has called him on a blunder that he, his cabinet and a 
majority of Congress all took part in creating. I'm talking about some 
recent legislation (namely, the USA PATRIOT act) that's just downright 
silly. By silly, I mean fucking moronic. Our country is caught up in a 
tragic terrorist incident and our friends in Washington feel that to appear 
'effective' they need to pass legislation that boldly flies in the face of 
terrorism. Unfortunately for Americans, this legislation is stripping us of 
our civil liberties. Now that we are all coming of age to have some say in 
this country, I urge everyone who's 18, or nearing 18, to understand what 
these issues are. (I won't go on for pages and pages on what this 
anti-terrorism legislation actually does; just check out the links below.) 
In conclusion, if you care about your rights, then vote, and make your voice 
heard. If you don't care about your own rights, who will?
