Rick Nielsen offered me a hit on the fattest joint I've ever seen that wasn't in a movie. I declined.

Oh, and Gwen Mars was on the stellar See Thru Broadcasting label, which put out Radar Bros.' "the Singing Hatchet", the great first Starlight Mints LP, and Enon's "Believo!" among others. Sad to see them go...I believe they mutated into PIAS USA and then some have landed at World's Fair. I think. Don't quote me here!

I met Robin Zander once after a Cheap Trick show (where I proposed to my now-wife). He signed a setlist for us: "Take the plunge! Robin"

Then he proceeded to go into this rambling speech about how "there's a time when you've gotta, you know, just take it to the right time and just take it up, you know, just go for it when you've gotta go for it because it's that time, you know?" (this is heavily redacted)

Something like that. We just smiled and nodded a lot.

Nice guy.

Cool, I'd been wondering recently if that Zander album was better or worse than I remembered it, but never felt motivated enough to buy it used and find out. Thanks, jefitoblog!
