Really Randoms: Sugar Ray, Patsy Cline, Grateful Dead and more

Posted Aug 07, 1999 12:00 AM

The video for Sugar Ray's "Fly" may be the band's best known clip, but it's certainly not the most momentous. The clip for "Caboose," a song the band recorded back in 1993, was responsible for getting the band its major label deal with Atlantic Records and can be seen on the newly released home video, No Cerveza, No Trabaja.| Along with "Fly" and "Caboose," the video features clips for "Someday," "Every Morning," "Iron Mic," "Mean Machine" and "10 Seconds Down," all of which were directed by videographer McG, whose recent big break came in the form of the "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" Gap television ad he shot. In addition to the music videos, the Sugar Ray collection also includes backstage footage and some other rare clips...


Thirty-six years after her plane fell out of the Tennessee sky, Patsy Cline is again a star. On Tuesday, Hollywood honored the late country singer with a plaque on its Walk of Fame. Cline's husband, Charlie Dick, accepted the award on behalf of the family in front of a crowd of about 150 fans. Cline is best remembered for her achy ballads like "I Fall to Pieces," "She's Got You" and the Willie Nelson-penned "Crazy" . . .


Grateful Dead music archivist Dick Latvala of "Dick's Picks" fame has slipped into a coma after suffering a heart attack last Wednesday (July 28). Band spokesman Dennis McNally says that Latvala, 56, was alone when the heart attack occurred and that his body wasn't found until some time later. "We're all freaked out and upset," McNally says. "Dick, essentially, has become a member of the band, and served as a bridge between the band's work in the vault and their audience." The Dead have posted a note on their official Web site (www.dead.net) asking fans to join together and send the keeper of the magical vault their positive energy. The message reads, in part: "Since he's in the twilight zone between here and there, why don't you include him and his family in any of your prayers"...
