| Loveless Declares End to Jam Rag, Re-discovers Music |
|
 In an e-mail newsletter dated Oct. 2, 2005, Stephanie Angeline Loveless (formerly Tom Ness) called it quits as editor and publisher of Jam Rag Magazine, a local music periodical produced in Ferndale, Mi.
"... Jam Rag is finished," Loveless declared. "At least for Sue and me. After 20 years, we will do one last edition, and that is it."
No word right now on whether Jam Rag will continue to publish without Loveless and Sue......(Ness?)
Adding to her many social and political interests such as The Green Party and trans-gender issues, Loveless is pursuing her music again after a 25 year creative hiatus.
"I've had an explosion of creativity. Songs are just popping out of me now, about one per week," she wrote. "Im really proud, and very much want you to hear them." Lyrics to some of her new songs were included in the newsletter along with a number of dates for live performances at events she'll be speaking and performing.
Loveless is currently recording her new material and will provide CD's at cost for anyone interested in hearing them.
"It's not finished yet, " she wrote. "but...most of the songs relate to the trans experience in one way or another."

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.narrow7.com | Sad to hear Jam Rag is coming to an end. Tom (Loveless) and Sue really supported the music community without becoming a commercial news machine like some of the other mag's. I'm sure the Jam Rag will be missed.
Cudo's to Tom & Sue for all the years of hard work and support of local music...... |

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.terryleebolton.com | | Tom and Sue did an Awesome job keeping a small paper alive for 20 years... There have been many people who have been blessed by this Magazine and all it stood for in the early days of it's inception... But like all things the lines have been blurred and the paper no longer stands for just music and the great Detroit music scene it helped support.... So I for one am glad to see it go.... I am so tired of these kinds of magazines hiding their underlying, seedy, distorted views under the guise of something good.... Heres to you Tom & Sue and a newly remade Stacy, I wish you the best.... Terry Lee Bolton. |

What do you mean, Terry? Do you mean Tom/Steph's social political bent making it into the editorials?
Or does this have something to do with them taking a pass on your offer to be featured in their magazine? |

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.terryleebolton.com | | This has nothing to do with that at all... That in itself is another issue I will choose to pass on... But I will say this... I at no time ever asked to be featured in their magazine, but did request to have a line about the Push cd release and was refused... Having said that, I have been a supporter of The Rag for many years both with money and often defending them in the local scene when people would say stupid shit about them with nothing to back it up... I also have helped with many of their recent requests for endorsements sent to me via email and as I began to really read (not read into) what they we're doing and saying I chose to rethink and remember what I felt some years ago about The Rag and how I hate these magazines who hide under one thing to feed us a bunch of shit that only they care about... Music is music, not sex or politics... Who fuckin' cares... The problem The Rag has is it can't get past itself and the only reason it never prospered is because of it's owners... So I for one am glad to see it go so someone else who loves music for music can come in and do it right... Keep the other shit where it belongs, in the trash... Mitch, you'd like everything to be cut and dry and it's not... Your still too young to know the differance... You'd like it to be about me and how I'm somehow hurt by not being in The Rag... Well The Rag has never been an asset to me or my career, so no I'm not heartbroke... But I am in Guitar World Magazine and Modern Drummer at the same time World Wide... Not in The Rag at the bottom of the Cat Litter Box... And I'm still a MAN... |
