Lee Ving/FEAR

>o  Does Fear's old lead singer now act?

I've seen Lee do all sorts of acting from movies to "Fame".  He always
plays an asshole (I wonder why...).  He's still their lead singer by the
way.

>o  Is there a record with "I Love Living in the City"

It's on FEAR's first album _Record_ made in '84.  It should be easy
enough to find.  I still see it around now and again.  It's a good album
too.

I don't know the lyrics off hand, but they are pretty clear on the
album--you should be able to pick them off it if you buy a copy.  

You might be interested to know that John Belushi helped write that
particular song.  He thought that FEAR was one of the best bands ever
and hung out with Derf Scratch quite a bit.  It was Belushi who talked
NBC into putting FEAR on SNL for their Halloween show, where one of
FEAR's thrashing fans grabbed the mike and yelled "Fuck New York! Fuck
New York!"--still one of my favorite SNL's
