Feel The Pain, But Check the Pawn Shops

Posted at 7:21 AM on September 5, 2006 by Hans Eisenbeis

Last Tuesday in Long Island City, the recently (and tenuously) reunited Dinosaur Jr. suffered a band's worst headache--they had seven guitars stolen, many of them irreplaceable, vintage instruments dating back to the early sixties and fifties. Adding insult to injury, singer/guitarist J. Mascis lost his pedal board, including his beloved wah-wah pedal. The band reassures fans that no shows will be cancelled. (Though this picture makes them look pretty PO'ed, doesn’t it? )We have to wonder what they'll be playing for the remainder of their reunion tour--kazoos, pickle buckets, and trash-can lids?
