V.I.P IN A GLASS

Welcome to the second installment of CREEM's cocktail column, Born to Booze, where we discuss all things alcohol-related. This issue our resident bartender/ musician, Kirk Podell (Subversive Rite, Anti-Machine, Neo Cons), has a drink with the band Sheer Mag, who add an unusual non-alcohol-related ingredientto their very alcohol-related alcohol. If you prefer your drinks shaken, not stirred, this one’s for you.

Philadelphia glam rock gods Sheer Mag never stop never stopping. Chances are, every six months or so you’ll see either a poster or, better yet, a member of Sheer Mag pop up in your bar. They’re like the Beetlejuice of touring bands—say “Sheer Mag” three times and in an instant you’ll be having a chuckle and cracking a coldie.
