I mean, seriously. Am I the loser who never says anything funny or interesting? Am I the immature kid who doesn’t ever seem to be able to keep up? Am I the guy who has a trail of threaddeath in my wake? Am I something else entirely? ---

I have such fond memories of you. I remember sitting in front of you when I had second row seats at one of the Fall '92 Madison Square Garden shows. You put out some exceptionally crisp bass notes, and even Jerry never sounded better. Huh? Oh, sorry. Heh. Wrong Speaker. Wrong Dead. OK, seriously. You seem like a good guy to me. ---
