March 9, 2003 @ Damn it. Chip Ransler blows out his knee.
The weakest link gets weaker. Chip Ransler, Cannonball Coming’s drummer, blew out his right knee skiing in Lake Tahoe, California and is feared, now totally, useless. Surgery is scheduled for July 16th, 2003 and recovery should take years. He looks forward to the popsicles at the hospital. Remember, cherry is his favorite flavor.
June 17, 2003 @ Cannonball Coming to open for Rolling Stones on half of their Summer, 2037 tour.
Cannonball Coming will open for the perennial touring act, The Rolling Stones, for their “Both Feet in the Grave” tour in 2037. Sources for the Rolling Stones couldn’t verify the dates, but there was some buzz from Keith Richards. “I was hammered after our Vegas, 2002 show and this little bloke comes up and starts yammering my ear off. I tell him, sure, you can open for us – in 2037. It was kind of a ‘if you’re not married, and I’m not married in 50 years, let’s get married.’ You know that drill, right? Both of you are so numb that you don’t care if you are sleeping with a goat.” Cannonball Coming will have T-Shirts and hats available in August 2003.
October 23, 2002 @ Deke Shipp to join Cannonball Coming.

Deke brings solid chops, a flair for originality and personality, and touring experience to the group. Deke is a former member of a platinum-selling band Utris, and brings an air of professionalism to an otherwise rudderless ship.
May 23, 2002 @ Ben Helman to pursue career in veterinary medicine.
Ben Helman, Cannonball Coming’s bassist since 2001 and a founding member, has left the band to pursue a career in taking care of little cute furry things. Directly after his announcement, Ben’s sex appeal fell slightly, then rose dramatically. We wish him well – especially as he is having a rough time of it at school down in Mexico. God speed.
