Gulf Coast punk rocker Brian Turd of les Turdz was murdered this past weekend in New Orleans. He was walking his dog aroun 8:30 pm Saturday night. He never made it home. His body was found with 8 to 9 shots in his chest. His dog never left his sde.
As best as anyone can tell it was probably a gang initiation. This sort of thing is getting out of hand in New Orleans and nothing is being done about it.
His body was found under a police camera. The camera was broken of course. Only a few weeks earlier a lady had been murdered on this street.
Here's a llink to his band site. Or our band I should say. He was my band mate and best friend for the last 21 years.
Today hurts bad. If anyone here happens to know him let's get a drink. If not I'll find some rock show this weekend and tie one on for him. |

(NEW ORLEANS) -- New Orleans Police are patrolling the Irish Channel Streets in larger number due to the area's latest murder.
Brian Turd, a singer, who recently moved back to New Orleans from Mississippi, was fatally shot saturday night on Chippewa Street in the Irish Channel block between 6th and Washington Avenue. He was walking his dog when gunned down.
An NOPD spokesperson said the department has no motives or suspects.
Friends and bandmates gathered in a section away from the murder scene earlier today to tell us more about the man they describe as tough, caring, protective and charismatic.
They emphasized Turd's shooting wasn't one a run of the mill New Orleans murders that involve drug dealing, but simply a case of their friend being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
This coming saturday the group we featured plans to hold a vigil forTurd in the very spot and at the same time he was shot. |

Strange. Kudos on the news article for running the name Turd.
You didn't include a link to his band. |

Thanks, they have a good sound.
I just lost a friend from a band back home to an even bigger freak accident. The details haven't been totally given away, but he jumped over the line at a gun range and got shot.
Ah, musicians. |

Sorry to hear about your friend too.
Les Turdz was just our little high school garage band from Mississippi that happened to last for 20 years and quite a few tours. The best times of my life were spent with that guy who better known as Brian Turd than... well his birth name. |

| condolences to both of you. Losing good people is hard. Tieing one on sounds entirely appropriate. |

Be kind to yourself...and tie one on if you need to! |
