Rock Musician's Paperweight Turns out Gyro Guiding US Nuclear Missile.
ABC 20/20 did a segment chatting with CRANKCALLER band members while they shared their Nuclear Missles finds with Tom Gerald.
CRANKCALLER's full length album, "Altogether Darker World" is due out 08-01-03
"The strange parts were scattered all over the place, " said The Count, rock band "CRANKCALLER" front man. It seems the rented North Hollywood, CA. industrial unit by members of rock band CRANKCALLER was previously occupied by "Fuzzy"- (known for his long hair)- an illegal sub, sub-contractor employed by Northrop Grumman for the US Government, manufacturing some of the most intricate parts of the Air Cruse Missile. Just so happens a full NBC 20/20 Investigation Team was hot on the trail of "Fuzzy". "It's was like a bad episode of COPS, said The Count- "Suddenly the guy from the news (Tom Gerald) burst in, camera rolling, in our faces asking which one of us was Fuzzy!" The investigation had led the 20/20 crew to the now rehearsal space. Fuzzy was long gone, however, the band mates were able to prove identity and (to the glee of 20/20) produce several items left behind by the former tenants: "Government Approved" stickers by the box, circuit boards, classified documents, and the now infamous $9,000 paperweight. The Count adds, "It truly shocks me that this (gyro) could have ended up in a Air Cruse Missile, telling it where to go. Personally, I think it works perfectly fine as a paperweight."
