In June 1987 Gerald Arthur Friend picked up a 14-year-old female friend after leaving a concert at the Tacoma Dome. Upon trying to exit the car the girl was handcuffed and held hostage at knife point. The girl was taken to a mobile home where she was tortured and raped with various objects for two days. She was also threatened with a blowtorch.“ we recorded our cover of “polly“ for SPIN magazine’s “Newermind“ tribute/compilation to mark the 20th anniversary of “Nevermind“ in september. michae
