Lazlo's Corner

While Obamacare has helped has certainly helped many get healthcare, co-pays keep getting worse.

If you are unlucky enough to get serious medical condition, you could end up with tons of bills.

As someone whose spouse suffers from ankylosing spondylitis, I've seen how expensive our co-pays can get, especially for ER visits.

And if you get cancer, and are lucky enough to survive it, seeing the bill from medical services could give you a heart attack.

It is why I always like to use this space to help promote benefit shows.

The press release below is for a benefit this Saturday (4/30) at Brighton Bar for Dez Cadena (Flag, Misfits, Black Flag, Red Kross, many more, and recently has played several shows with Jon Caspi & The First Gun).

Later this week (hopefully Tuesday), check out BlowUpRadio.com for an interview with Jon Caspi, the organizer of this benefit.

A fundraiser for Dez Cadena, of the legendary punk bands Black Flag, Misfits, and FLAG, will take place at the Brighton Bar on Saturday April 30th. Cadena had to end his almost 15 year run as a member of The Misfits due to throat cancer. He is recovering well and about to go back on tour this summer with FLAG but still dealing with a mountain of medical bills.

The fundraiser will feature multiple acts including Dez Cadena and The Buzz Aldrin Trio performing a set of Black Flag tunes, Jon Caspi & The First Gun (featuring Cadena on guitar), Lost in Society, Pep Rally, and special appearances by Jimmy Gestapo and Raven (both of Murphy’s Law). Announcements of other special guests are expected.

Since leaving The Misfits he has been performing with NJ natives Jon Caspi & The First Gun, who are organizing the benefit on his behalf. They have digitally released one song together called “SUN” on Brighton Bar Records, and its video is being released in conjunction with the upcoming fundraiser. This is Cadena’s first release since the onset of his throat cancer.

Cadena and Caspi connected over the recent and unexpected death of a mutual friend, “Mr Lou” DeMartino. Caspi says, "This song is a tribute to Lou and is about how truly sad and tragic endings can sometimes lead to good things. We'd rather have Lou back with us, but since we can't, we are glad that this came about because of him. It was Lou's gift to us." The track can be found via many online outlets including iTunes, Spotify, and Bandcamp.

A Go Fund Me site set up on Cadena’s behalf (https://www.gofundme.com/DezCadena) where fans can support him and his recovery.
