Band Members, E: Richard Edson of Sonic Youth

Song: "The World Looks Red"
From the album Confusion Is Sex/Kill Yr Idols

Sonic Youth:   Web site   MySpace

DJ comments: Richard Edson didn't play drums on this song; in fact, he only played on SY's first (and often overlooked) debut before leaving for an acting career. But it is that very acting career that made me want to give props to Mr. Edson. You might know him as the greasy parking garage attendant in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. He also starred in Platoon, Do the Right Thing as the younger son of Sal the pizzeria owner, and Eight Men Out as a degenerate gambler/former boxer. — cwc
