Thom the roadie
Their is an article up at Chart Attack about the Beta Band touring with Radiohead. Here’s a snippet:
When they did the first Western leg of the tour with Radiohead they were so financially destitute that their tour manager didn? have a cellphone. This left publicists stranded when trying to contact them for interviews. They couldn? afford roadies either and MacLean said that problem was solved by, “Radiohead help us out with roading. They move a lot of our equipment on stage for us. Thom Yorke carries Steve? [Mason] guitar on stage every night for him. They?e quite muscly. You wouldn? think it, but Thom Yorke? a tough wee guy.”

Campus Greens update
Unfortunately, Radiohead will not be able to make it to the August 10 Campus Greens Super Rally in Chicago. This is from Rally Coordinator Clint Hendler:
I’m very sorry to report that Radiohead will not be able to attend the Campus Greens Rally For Radical Change. This time the tour schedule wouldn’t allow it, but we guarantee that we will try to get Radiohead sometime again in the future. I hope that greenplastic readers in the Chicago area will still consider attending a night of great political
speakers and performers, including Ralph Nader, Cornel West, Patti Smith, and former “Dead Kennedys” frontman Jello Biafra.
There is a rumor that tomorrow, July 25, Radiohead will release an Internet-only video for “I Might Be Wrong” on the www.radiohead.com/009.html page. {thanks to Karma Police}
