Did you miss me?

["James Sigel" <jsigel@winston.com>]

Hello kids.  Is everyone all right?  It's been a while for me since I
posted last so I've got a few things to mention.  I'll cut my posts up
so they don't come in too huge.  I've copied some of your comments but
forgive me for not remembering exactly who said what.

First off, to Mr. Raymond Luxury Yacht (pronounced Throatwobbler
Mangrove):  I'm not going to interview you; you're a very silly
person.  And no!  I'm not an anti-Semite!  Real nose indeed. 
Sincerely, 
Guy the Gorilla

And now...

Mizz Pam, would you believe me if I told you that I had a seat "right
in the very front row" for that last Replacements gig at Grant Park
too?  But I blew it off!!! Oh woe was/is me!  I thought giving in to
an overbearing girlfriend was the best thing to do, at the time.  Boy,
have I since learned!!!  Friends of mine have pictures from that show
and they were so close, you could see the pimples on Tommy Stinson's
face.  Story of my life, in a nutshell.

Joe, you're a wise man.  I think that the whirling riffs Pets does
during the bridge of Drowned (right after the "...I am not the actor"
break) are some of the best licks he's ever been recorded doing. 
Absolutely phenomenal.

I don't think so either here.  I read a John Lennon interview where
he claims that his "I Feel Fine" feedback was done before Pete and
Jimi.  I will always like Lennon, but that doesn't change the fact
that he was something of an arrogant prick.  In a 1970 Rolling Stone
interview, he had the balls to call himself a genius.  Genius he
might've been, but I have a problem with people who blow their own
horns that loudly.  Even if they are the great Lennon.

I will get to you sacrilidgeous (sp?) monsters who have taken to
ripping the Who Are You album in my next post!!!  Shame on you!!!  May
the ghost of Keith drive your favorite automobile into a swamp!

Jim in Chicago
