The pill bottle has run empty and there is no doctor signed prescription refill handy. The Prescription goes unfilled… But there is hope that soon the doctor will sign off on another refill of the drug you have been longing for. That’s right some Rx rockage! In the mean time here is an update on the Rx staff. Our top bass combobulator moved off on special assignment to MN, and is expected back in action July of 2008. He is studying the cell of the bass in order to clone and engineer basses at the nano level. He is pure genius I tell you, evil genius. Davosamabinricottaladen is a happy father to baby boy Nile. Nile will be on tour and coming to the Bluebird Theater in CO this year (different Nile but I thought I would throw that out there). Nile can already do diminished triads in the pentatonic scale. This kid is a born shredder. He’ll be our second guitar player in no time. He’ll be 1 year old soon. Jorge is now an industry leader in the adult entertainment business. His escort service, “Jorge’s Whores,” pronounced; hor hey’s whores, is doing astoundingly well. Look for it on the NASDAQ with ticker symbol ‘whores.’ Also keep your eyes open for his new video line to hit store shelves soon. The Jones is busy playing in a steal drum band in Jamaica. They do all Bad Brains covers. He has since joined the Rastafarian movement and smokes weed religiously everyday while maintaining his new dreads.

Prescription’s latest album, “Epoxy Lips Now!” is being distributed on FiveCore Records – www.5corerecords.com . Go check out their website where it is available by order or download.

So that’s the latest from RX. There is a slight possibility of a RX reunion. All the members will be residing in CO later this summer in 2008. If you want to see RX rockin’ again, bug the hell out of us. Send us messages telling us how bad you want to see the debauchery again and it just might happen.

Rx November 2006 Newsletter

November, November, please come touch my member.

I want to start by giving a big, drooling, catchup-dipped "Fuck You!" to everyone who didn't vote this year. {This doesn't pertain to most of our readers...I hope}
Seeing amendment 44 (to legalize small amounts of marijuana for adults) lose by a mere 200,000 votes really made me sick. I think I may personally know 200,000 local herb smokers, and yet this vote still ends up a landslide victory for the brainwashed, homogenized, D.A.R.E.Pushers?!?! What state do we live in again? Or should I ask, which decade? If smoking cesspool makes you so lazy and apathetic that you can't even get off your ass to vote, than maybe it should be illegal.

Some people will say, "Oh, 44 never had a chance, but at least the Democratic party took control." Well I say, Democrat-schmemocrat. A famous man once described the two parties as, "Opposite hands of the same beast." Damn, its too bad I don't know who said that cause it's a really good quote. Sure, I like the Democratic party better, but that isn't saying much since I loathe the Re-pubic-cans. So long as both are controlled and manipulated by dollars, this country is always going to be a nation for the corporation, of the corporation, and by the corporation. Amen. Having two mainstream choices on a ballot just doesn't cut it for me. It's like a pizza joint that only has two toppings available, "What would you like on your pizza sir? We don't carry what you want, so which of our two toppings bothers you the least?"

Which brings me full circle to amendment 44. Here was a chance to go to the polls and actually CHANGE our quality of life. Instantly. Did you know that if 44 would have passed, a cop would no longer have the right to search you or your car just cause he or she "smelled pot?"

How many tickets is that? Think about it, it would have been huge. Ah well, water under the bridge. Shitty thing is, with the karma of the world all fucked up now a days, you know it's going to be the people who voted that will get unlucky and receive the butt end of those kind of tickets. That's just how it works.
November, November, please pay off the lender.

Prescription will play only one show this month, on thanksgiving night, at the Larimer Lounge (w/ Black Lamb and Work Horse). After your stomach is full and your family has worn your nerves to a spasing thread, I suggest you come on down and get totally smashed with us! Oh wait, I forgot, eating turkey makes you tired, and your going to need to curl up and take a nap instead, right? For god's sakes, have some dignity!

In keeping with our holiday theme we will also be playing a Christmas show on December 23rd at the 15th Street Tavern and then back at the Larimer Lounge for New Years Eve with Frontside Five. We should have some Halloween pictures up soon so check back sometime before your next newsletter craving in December.

Salude to the prudes,

As the nation struggles to come to terms with all the recent school shootings - I have one thing to say: It’s a sick world, people. Get used to it.

Fortunately, I also have a solution to this particular problem. I’m thinking we add a new course for elementary students that teaches them proper weapons training. With armed, accurate and caffeine-buzzed students filling the rooms and hallways, what kind of psycho would dare breach a school and think they were dealing with vulnerable, easy pray? Maybe this is why all these freaks come to suburban schools or rural schools to do their dirty work? You don’t hear about anybody storming into a public school in south central L.A. and trying to kick out all the steal-packing hommies so they can have their way with a group of pissed off gangsta bitches. I mean, these sick-O’s are fully suicidal and they still aren’t willing to try that kind of shit!

Just think about it. With the instillation of my new courses, the NRA would be happy to fund all of our public education. And army recruiters wouldn’t even have to visit schools anymore - hell they could even teach some of the classes. A kid could graduate and go straight to the front lines!

On a side note, what a black eye this gives to D.A.R.E. programs and truancy policies, huh? Lets face it, ditching fourth hour to go smoke a joint is statistically a safer choice than hanging out in the cafeteria and waiting to take a bullet.

But enough of that shit.

I need some ideas for a Halloween costume. I was GOING to be Jean Bennet Ramsey, you know with a bloody skirt and such, but with all the youts being killed lately, I figured it might be in bad taste.

Aside from all the candy, isn’t bad taste what Halloween is all about, anyway? Lets face it, when you get to be my age, and you’re not too afraid of ghosts and monsters anymore, you’re almost forced to choose the most offensive costume in order to gain a little fear about what people might do to you. Wait? Is that why all the ladies dress so slutty?

Cheers 2 Beers,

Prescription, the Dropscots, and the PeelanderZ from NY. The Peelanderz are supposed to be pretty crazy live. Should be a good one.

Rx September 2006 Newsletter

Like the murky scum that settles to the bottom of a still pond, which consists almost entirely of fish poop, our website has been eerily stagnant in recent months. Finally, however, there are some additions; mainly, new photos. Check them out! You know, I can't figure it out for the life of me, but I don't think there is one shot incorporating the most exciting element of any live show: you, the fans. When people are falling over each other, slipping on booze, covered in blood with their shirts half ripped off and the camera remains focused on our ugly assess the whole time, well, that's just bad journalism. But hey, as Americans we should all be used to that by now anyway, right?

High five to all of you who made it out to Shred Fest this year. If you could sum the whole thing up in one word I think it would have to be "memorable." Unless, of course, you were one of the 98% who don't really remember any of it. Many praises to Ben Gun, who gave the time, energy and had the patience to pull Shred Fest off again this year. Lets all hope this is the beginning of a long tradition.

Rx will be playing two more shows in September. One on September 15th at The Cricket on the Hill, with one of my favorite bands in Denver, Valio Mierda. Don't miss this one. At the end of the month we will be rocking the 15th St. Tavern for the first time in a long while, September 30th. It's an MS benefit show with us and three other bands that all have one thing in common: they all contain a former member of the '80's Denver punk band, The Aberrant; Derek Blaha who plays in Buzzard, Johnny K. from Salted Wounds and Donnie Miller of Self Service. If you don't think that's interesting then why don't you just stay home, like you always do, and watch reruns of Barney. Looser.

Happy birthday this month to our beloved Mikey, who shares a birthday with another legendary Denver bassist, Brooke Crawford of Front Side Five. Getting old is a bitch, but they do it sooooo well.

Please check back in often for website updates and please, please send us any pictures, stories, suggestions, complaints, drugs or monies that relate to the humble Rx. See you at the shows, or blow it out your nose.

Cheers to beers,

Jorge McToken
