Some will never be satisfied.
I found nothing to complain about.  Well, ok, maybe the prices, but we won't
go *there* again.

Even if Zak and Rabbit play on the new album??
I think being a contributor on a released album would change the trend.
Thoughts?

Add to that a complete Lifehouse album by The Who.

What's the latest on the Moon movie?  I've lost track.

Man, my wife and I thought you were going to kill someone!!!!

fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.

outa your brain on the 5:15?
Try taking the train from Amsterdam to Munich and passing out in your
compartment, only to have your sister and boy friend (who were to pick you
up) wake you after searching the entire train!
 
My story?
Drinking that last beer after the Cleveland show, allowing me to get to know
Schrade's carpeting  very well.

No. I've always been convinced he off'ed himself.

3. Life without alcohol was just going to be too damn painful.  Life *with*
alcohol was going to kill him anyway.
4. Life without alcohol meant the death of "Moon the Loon".  Who else could
he be (in his own mind)???

I keep thinking back to what Pete told, of how Keith was calling him with
increasing frequency just before bed, and getting mushy and saying how much
he loved him, etc. 
Just sounds like our man was in a whole bunch of pain, and could start to
see his future.  He obviously didn't like what he saw.

Now I'm bummed.

Kevin in VT.
