John Doe, Jello Biafra and a host of other rockers are uniting on Sunday, June 28th for a special San Francisco show benefiting Paul Williams. As Rolling Stone reported in April, the Crawdaddy! founder is suffering from early onset Alzheimer's disease brought on by a 1995 bike accident and is in need of financial assistance to pay his mounting medical bills. Ben Fong Torres will host the event, which will take place at the Red Devil Lounge. The lineup also includes Cindy Lee Berryhill, Mojo Nixon, Mark Eitzel, John Easdale, Mario Cipollina and Debora Iyall and Peter Dunne of Romeo Void with more special guests and surprise performers on the way.

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston | 1976

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
