The preacher and the Prophet

Why can't we all just get along? The history, or not, of Russell and Jeff's Deep Ellum

October 16: The Prophet burns to a crisp. The Dallas Fire Department traces the cause to faulty wiring on an electric deep fryer in the kitchen. Estimated damages are $25,000. Hobbs can't be reached for comment, but it's believed neither God nor Satan is to blame.

October 29: Arcadia hosts "Munsters of Rock" show, featuring End Over End, Three on a Hill, Shallow Reign, Last Rites, Course of Empire, and Hash Palace.

November 5: Edie Brickell and New Bohemians are musical guests on NBC's Saturday Night Live.

November: Decadent Dub Team goes into the studio to record an LP for Triple XXX Records at Dallas Sound Lab. Liles is also planning a Deep Ellum compilation record of "all hard, heavy guitar bands," titled Dude, You Rock, to be released early 1989.

November: A sign is posted in front of the recently roasted Prophet. It reads, "Firewood for Sale."
