RE: Nothing is Everything

["Neil E. Weissman" <neilweissman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was up front and he had that sneer that let us know it was going to be a
special night.  At times I viewed that as a happy sneer.  I guess my use of
"jovial" was misplaced as he seems to be happy when he is mad. ;-)  I was at
the Gorge 2002 show where the band really seemed to be having a good time;
of course the underlying emotions of John's death obviously played a role.
Then, all of a sudden, Pete smashes a guitar like it was his worst enemy.
Go figure.
