Dont leave our pal Scott out there on the maroon. Chip in if you can.

As I reported on Friday, NW music legend and mensch-of-the-century Scott McCaughey is in a San Francisco hospital bed, recovering from the stroke he suffered on Thursday while on tour. His condition remains stable and several people who have been at his bedside say he seems to be doing well, all things considered. This is great news and one thing to be thankful for come Thursday.

However, the process of his recovery—which, we call all agree, will be total—is going to be long, and therefore, very expensive. A GoFundMe campaign has been established to help defray his medical costs. I urge you to contribute.

The movement to encourage sales of The Minus 5's self-titled masterpiece (a.k.a. the gun album) is also proceeding nicely, but needless to say, nothing's stopping you from contributing to both.
