Born on Nov 21: Brian Ritchie (Violent Femmes)

Brian Ritchie (born 21 November 1960) was the bass guitarist for the American alternative rock band Violent Femmes.

"Blister in the Sun" is a song by the Femmes, originally released on their 1983 self-titled debut album. Because the original master tapes were not available for use in the film Grosse Pointe Blank, the band recorded a new version of the song, entitled "Blister 2000". A new music video was created for the original version of the song, coinciding with the release of the film. It features Gordon Gano as a deranged assassin, trying to kill Socks the cat in puppet form.
