That goddamned Jesus Lizard is playing tonight, right here in Portland. A singing group.

It was fun hanging out with old man Yow this spring. He’s a sweet little man when he’s not under the influence. Get a couple jiggers of fire water in him and he gets mean and nasty, in his own charming, elfish way.

And I want to see that tonight, and bring back some of those thumping memories of those mid ’90s. Sims on the bass. McNeilly on the skins. Denison on the axe. Yow on fire. I got to see them a handful of times, and find myself thankful for that.

We’re going. Hell yes, Mr. Resch! Word from old man Yow is that he put us on a list. Awesome. See you down there, you mouthbreathers!
