You should profile more musicians, some of our readers say. Aren't there any awesome Jews in any cool bands?

Hell, yeah, there are! And what band is cooler than the Smashing Pumpkins! Its bass player, the awesome D'arcy Wretzky, is Jewish!

Uhhhh... we're dating ourselves. Even though the Pumpkins are still, theoretically, intact, they're not exactly at the peak... but those early 90s, man, early 90s! And D'arcy, well, she hasn't been in the Pumpkins since 1999, when she was kicked out for, quoting front man Billy Corgan, "being a mean spirited drug addict". So, uh, that...

Wretzky was most recently in the news when she was jailed for letting her horses run around her neighbors' yards, and then for drunk driving. With "awesome" Jews like that, maybe that's why we don't write about any "cool" bands...
