Streithorst had originally learned to play the drums as part of rehabilitation from a football injury that left him with a limp. He had formerly played in a band named Kinetic Ritual with Scott, which is how he got his job in the Spooky Kids. Lucas rounded out the band's live sound during the Spooky Kids days and performed on Portrait of an American Family, although it has often been said that the band was not satisfied with his drumming skills. During the subsequent tour, relations between Lucas and Manson began to deteriorate, with Manson frequently trashing the drum kit at the end of the show. By the time of a performance where Manson sprayed flaming lighter fluid on the drum set and nearly lit Lucas on fire, Sara Lee knew the writing was on the wall. He took a plane back to Florida the next day without ever saying goodbye, but by that point the band had already been auditioning replacements and had settled on Ginger Fish. Not much has been heard from Mr. Streithorst since he left the band. It is believed that he has quit the music business and returned to a "normal" life. |
