Lori Black has always been an enigma to me. Is she really the same Lori Black that is the daughter of Shirley Temple? Or was this a hoax perpetuated by Buzz and Dale because the name was the same? I've always thought it was a little outrageous. I came across this obituary of Lori's father Charles Alden Black.

The only mention of Lori in the obit is that she is a photographer, not a musician.
So, once and for all is it true? Has anyone bothered to read an officia lShirley Temple biography or has Temple written her own autobiography yet that mentions Lori in any capacity?
What I want to know is, did she play bass on the tour opening for Gwar in 1992?
As far as i know it's true, she is shirley temples daughter.
i remember being on an official or unofficial official fan site of shirley temples and it mentioned in her bio and life story that her daughter lori black played bass for the melvins... I dont think majority of the shirley temple fanbase would be into the melvins... so i think for the fansite to mention that is proof enough for me that its true.

Wow. thanks Mesteren
Mesteren promised me when he dies he's going to send me the Melvins sketch. Thanks Mesteren! :P
wow! lori was beautiful before the junk got to her.
thanks mesteren, your the greatest! that thing should be put into the bassists morgue in addition to the rest of the stuff about lori.
You're all welcome. I do it because I love you all. Period.
.... and bUTTHOLEmAN? You will NEVER get my Melvins drawing. It's for my youngest daughter. She's a MAJOR Melvins fan.
Dating Buzz? I mean, I'd like to think I'm a scary Melvins geek, but I never knew that. Kinda embarrassing really. Thanks much for upping that article!
We look at this and go "Hey, it's Dale and Buzz!", but I'm sure the housewives of the nation who read the article cringed at their photo.
Damn, Buzz has had a weird life.

No, I was at one of these shows in Petaluma, CA, and Joe Preston was playing bass (he was wearing a bathrobe if I remember correctly haha).

Well shes an art collector nowadays, which just SCREAMS inheritance to me based on what we know about her.
Thanks for the article. So I guess that pretty much confirms it. I laughed at the section where Shirley describes the music of the Melvins as "raunchy". Yeah, I can just see her sitting down and listening to Bullhead or Lysol.
Wow, nice article! Thanks Mesteren.
