  Beyond and Back: The X Anthology
Exene thought me and Dennis Dannell were cute little punk rockers and she'd always let us into their shows because we'd driven so far and spent all our money on beer.
Exene was wearing a fl fifties sweater with sequins and beads all over it, and I had one on that was almost identical.

Exene then joined forces with D.J. Bonebrake (her long-time drummer from X and solo projects) and Matt Freeman (Rancid/Downfall/Operation Ivy founder).
As always, Exene, (who wrote almost all the music and lyrics) is unflinching in her portrayal of the corrosive world around her, whether she?s examining social hypocracy or getting inside thorny romantic issues.
Upon meeting each other, Exene told him of her plan to form a band that was in the truest spirit of punk, and one with a modern outlook.

 Exene Cervenka and the Original Sinners - Nitro Records!
Exene Cervenka is one of the great treasures of Los Angeles, and it is an auspicious day indeed when she unveils a new band, a new record, and a new batch of songs.
A crucial ingredient in Exene’s musical style is the unique, slightly discordant approach to vocal harmony she developed with John Doe while both were members of X. It is great hearing her do those harmonies again, and fascinating to hear her doing them for the first time with another female voice.
Exene plays guitar on four tracks on the album, and among them is “Tick-Tock,” a fantastic instrumental she wrote.

That's Exene Cervenka talking in 1981, comfortable in a clean, climate-controlled conference room, as her band X signed a deal with Elektra Records, a division of the Warner Brothers recording empire.
Exene wrote "Come Back to Me," but John wrote "Riding With Mary." On those two songs, Exene delivered some of the most delicate and precise vocals of her career.
Exene wrote this while we were on tour stranded in a hotel in Davenport, Iowa, waiting to get a broken-down car fixed.

Exene joined me for a smoke and we were standing there next to the tailpipe, my car's exhaust held thick by the chilly, foggy night - She said "you know I think we better move, and I said it's O.K...it's just steam.

I will initially focus on basics of how eXene works with sml and X Windows by looking at and running one of the example applications that are provided in the eXene examples directory of the distribution.
The most recent documentation that is included with the eXene distribution is dated December 25, 1995 and accompanies what is stated to be a "snapshot of the current state of eXene." It also stated to "compile" under sml Version 107.
This shows eXene being started up from a shell command prompt, which would seem to indicate that there has to be a command or binary to fire up eXene similar to the way sml (and sml_tk) is started.

Ideatori del beach-punk, poi cantori di litanie urbane violente e desolate, i californiani X della "sacerdotessa punk" Exene Cervenka sono stati tra i gruppi più influenti della loro epoca
Gli X sono tra i primi e principali gruppi punk-rock ad annoverare una femme-fatale dark e ribelle: si chiamava Exene Cervenka, aveva il prototipo della voce-spleen (alienazione/armonia/seduzione/tragedia/apatia), e all'epoca faceva compagnia a Siouxsie Sioux, Kat Arthur dei punk-metal californiani Legal Weapon, Lydia Lunch e Wendy Williams dei Plasmatics (la prima voce femminile metal della storia).
Exene Cervenka, abbandonata la furia punk in favore di velleità para-new age, proseguirà la sua attività da sola, con album come Old Wives Tales (1989) e Running Scared (1990).

I surfed to this story from the UK-based Mirror because I saw the name "Exene," hoping it would make mention of my all-time rock idol, Exene Cervenka, formerly of the seminal LA punk band X.
Exene, since I last read anything about her, apparently married and divorced actor Viggo Mortensen, and is now suing him for support, saying that she currently works as a teacher and a librarian, making well below what she needs to support their son, Henry, now 16.
Actually, Exene (now apparently going by the name Christene Edge) is now, according to her declaration in support of order to show cause re modification of child support (a copy of which is at Smoking Gun [thesmokinggun.com]), an "assistant teacher/librarian at Westland School, Inc." in Los Angeles.

If words are weapons, T.T. the Bear's was reduced, metaphorically, to a smoldering pile of ruins after last Friday night's spoken-word extravaganza.
The incendiary duo -- Lydia Lunch, the punk scene queen and performance-art maven who got her start, in the late '70s, playing guitar with Teenage Jesus and the Jerks; and Exene Cervenka of X -- sent the Central Square club up in a blaze of anarcho-feminist oration that drew out 100-plus loyal troops.
The show was a stop on a promotional tour launching Rude Hieroglyphics, their spoken-word CD just released on Rykodisc.

 eXene widget notes
Although the new set is largely upward compatible with the old (version 0.4) in terms of function and use, the new set has new widgets, old widgets have new features, the widgets have a Motif-like 3D look, and the widgets use X resources to allow customization, especially of such visual aspects as color and font.
This version of the eXene widgets represents the widgets as they are right now.
There are many bugs; many of the widgets have not been converted to a 3D look or to use resources; there will probably be additional changes in the design.

 VH1.com : Exene Cervenka : Biography
With both sharing vocal duties (and Doe doubling on bass), a friend of Doe's, Billy Zoom, supplied guitar in a Duane Eddy style, and was soon followed by the arrival of drummer D.J. Bonebrake, resulting in the birth of X in 1977.
With Cervenka changing the spelling of her first name to Exene, the group led the Hollywood punk movement, but there was much more to their sound than the average punk band -- as country, rockabilly, and Exene's poetic lyrics set them a part from the pack.
During this time, Cervenka found the time to launch a new band, albeit short lived, Auntie Christ (in which she also supplied guitar) - comprised of X band mate Bonebrake, as well as major X fan, Rancid bassist Matt Freeman -- and also issued a third solo release, 1996's Surface to Air Serpents.
