    Their best one. And proves Stone is the hero of the band. What other member of another huge band would cease control at the height of popularity?

    Spinning it right now, what a great album.  I so wish I could have seen them in 95 but of course they didn’t play around here.

    After twenty five years I just noticed the guy in the middle of the photo is not in pj. Who is it? BOB? I guess Jeff took the photo.

    Its BO'B but from the angle it could also be Mark Arm's doppelganger. 
    His eminence has yet to show.

    I don't have many regrets in life, but one would be having the stones to get my shit together and just go out and see them that summer/fall

    My question about that first article is.... Is Mike wearing jeans under his jeans in that picture? And why? That's too big of a hole to be just a patch I would think.
