Rollie Rumors Put to Rest
Thanks to Aaron Flannigan, a very helpful Rollie T. Sakers fan, I am able to post this portion of an interview with Brad Nowell done in the late '90s. Looks like we can all put the rumors to rest about how they found Rollie! FINALLY!
HECKLER: How did you guys hook up with Raleigh Theodore Sakers?
BRAD: Umm...our old drummer Kelly. His brother had a friend that worked in a halfway home. He was in there one day and there was this fuckin' wierdo (Raliegh), and he was just going off. So our buddy just got his tape recorder and pressed record. Then Raliegh started hallucinating and thought that he was making a science fiction magazine. He was making such a scene that they tried to kick him into the psych ward. We have, thank God, about two or three hours of this guy just rambling. The whole thing is just, there is only a certain amount of time that you can put on a CD, and we like to fill it with not only good music, but some funny stuff too. It's just like stuff you can come across, alright, that is sooo fucking funny. I mean, that Raliegh shit is fucking hilarious. We just put as much as we could on this CD.
