Stephen Patchan in the City Paper this week

Stephen Patchan, who plays guitar in The Ceiling Stares, works in a rather precarious spot for a rocker: local government. Patchan has been the Pittsburgh's Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator since 2008. It's a city-planning position concentrating on taking the needs of cyclists and pedestrians into account.
At first, he says, he was a bit reluctant to let his life as a rock guitarist interfere with his day job. "When I first started, I was more sensitive about it. It is a political position, and there are certain elements of rock 'n' roll that don't jibe with that. But of course, it's not like I'm G.G. Allin or anything like that."

Cool. Until today I didn't know who G.G. Allin was, or coprophagia. You learn something new.

I just didn't know his real name was Jesus Christ.
