Randy "Biscuit" Turner gave a young Dotty Farrell a ride home on his motorcycle from an early-Eighties Thanksgiving "orphan" party, and a fast friendship was forged. The pair took their shared affinity for bruising punk rock and flamboyant costumery to its zenith in Swine King but were just as simpatico offstage. Turner's passing last year hit the whole city hard, Farrell most of all, but every time she struts onstage with the Punkaroos - who just headlined last weekend's two-day Biscuitfest memorial - or smiles knowingly at the shenanigans she sees most every night working the door at Emo's, a little bit of Biscuit is with her.
