...collaborative effort between childhood friends Christian Lane (guitars and vocals), Tommy Furar (bass) and drummer Mark Doyle, Loud Lucy hails from Chicago. Since Loud Lucy's formation while Lane and Furar were still in high school, the band has gained a reputation as one of Chicago's most popular unsigned bands in recent years.

We must not allow the innovative style with which she has been First Lady to translate an increasingly loud female voice and influence in the White House into an Eve or Jezebel persuading the innocent man of the house to do evil. Putting the issue of gender aside, however, we must observe her closely. An unelected official who has wielded as much power as she must know that with the seizing of such
