Last Call
Bob Pollard Winds Down 20 Years of Guided By Voices With A Final Album and A Celebratory Farewell Tour
The truth can finally be revealed: Bob Pollard is Bob From Dayton. Back in the late '80s, when running a record store was a license to print money, I was one of the counter geeks at the tiny but much-respected Wizard Records (when it was still located in the basement of In Cahoots near UC's campus). One of our frequent customers was a guy who would snatch the coolest records from the racks but rarely had the cash on hand to pay for them, and he'd ask if he could reserve the stack until payday.
