Scott Harrell is the music critic at Weekly Planet (Tampa) and the singer for Nessie, a band with a new CD ("Drunk with a Gun") being shopped to major labels. In a preview of an upcoming show, Wade Tatangelo of The Bradenton Herald describes Nessie's music as having "that Pixies, stop 'n' go, urgency." The 34-year-old Harrell is a veteran of the Tampa music scene; "There's always been a whole lot of talent surrounded by a whole lot of garbage," he says.

John Wilcock was already an experienced British journalist when he began writing "The Village Square" column for The Village Voice in 1955. These days, the 78-year-old writes a weekly column in The Montecito Journal, self-publishes a monthly zine called The Ojai Orange, and produces a public access television show. The twisted tale of his life, as revealed to the Ventura County Reporter, also includes stints as a travel writer for The New York Times and Frommer's, a columnist for LA Weekly, and an apprentice to a witch. Wilcock was friends with Andy Warhol and Abbie Hoffman, but says he "never really got along very well" with Norman Mailer, because Mailer was "a bit self-important."
