      Rolling Stone : Living Things Dodge Bullets

      Posted by Damianmann from Rolling Stone

      Lillian Berlin can't recall precisely what he said onstage during Living Things' gig at the Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas in 2004: "Just things about the Republican Party, how conservative it was," he says. It was enough to nearly get him killed. After the show, Berlin -- Living Things' politically blunt singer-songwriter-guitarist and the eldest of the band's three brothers -- was outside, behind the club, when he was jumped by three men. One pulled out a revolver, hitting Berlin in the stomach with the handle. Then the gun went off -- twice.

    I actually knew Hilly from the NYC Hardcore days and I just have to say, it is the end of an era.
