The quote at the beginning of one of the chapters (something brilliant and science-y) was by Mark Mothersbaugh. It killed me to think my iconoclastic idol was a true blue academic.<BR/><BR/>Didn’t stop me from catching them live around 89. I also visited some of the clubs they played at near Ohio State. Some very tough rooms on (I think it was) High Street.<BR/><BR/>As an adult I am amazed by the mix of genius and absolute trash.<BR/><BR/>Recommend: Mystery Men Mantra or the live version of Girl You Want.<BR/><BR/>Hope you feel better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
