IPO Chicago people should remember The Returnables and probably The Dials. John (& Becky) are friends of mine. We swapped shows, opening for each other & slept on each others couches. They are super people. They dated for about 15 years before finally getting married last year. If you ever catch "Running WIth The Bulls" on IFC, it cronicles Adam Goldberg's journey to Chicago to see John & Becky & The Returnables. This just infuriates me...such pointless deaths - They all deserved so much better.

Three Chicago musicians who worked regular jobs by day and rocked at night were killed when a young woman bent on ending her life barreled into their car on a Skokie street, law enforcement officials said Friday.
Jeanette Sliwinski, 23, has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder after telling police investigating Thursday's crash at Niles Center Road that she had been in a fight with her mother and "wanted to end it all," authorities said.
Sliwinski, of the 8900 block of Parkside Street, Morton Grove, was going at least 70 m.p.h. eastbound on Dempster Street and had run three red lights when she rammed her 2000 Ford Mustang into the car carrying the three co-workers who were out for lunch, authorities said.
Killed were Michael Dahlquist, 39, of the 4800 block of South Ashland Avenue; John Glick, 35, of the 2800 block of West Palmer Street; and Douglas Meis, 29, of the 4500 block of North Lincoln Avenue, all in Chicago. Condolences buzzed across music-related Web sites as friends and fans shared the news. The men were in the prime of their lives, and more concerned about touching people with their art than making hit records, friends and relatives said.
"They were people who were so smart and brilliant and amazing," said Rebecca Crawford, Glick's wife. "Everyone feels cheated that they haven't been able to accomplish what they set out to do."
