Faith No More
Christine Natanael, Powerline, January 1991
As Faith No More go from bizarre cult status to mainstream success (and who would've guessed?) their old palster, Christine Natanael gets the story. Yes, "The Writer From Hell" flies around (well, actually, busses around) the country with her old pal (geddit, they're old pals) Jim Martin. You know, the dude with the glasses. Anyone but Christine would've been a fish outta water. (yuk, yuk)
