And, YES, I love Jimmy Dale Gilmore (the Flatlanders). My best day of brushing up against rock and roll greatness was back in 1993. I saw Jimmy Dale Gilmore play at the local bar in Columbus, OH. I stuck around afterward and played pool with Jimmy Dale (he won). Then, I went to an after hours party and hung out with Kelly Deal, of the Breeders. She wanted to drink mudslides, so we all went down the bar where I worked, opened up, and drank mudslides til the sun came up. Then, she went out on the street, and took a taxi cab from Columbus to Dayton....

I go to bed by 10pm these days.

Jimmy Dale and Gram are gods. Along with Dave Alvin, Billy Bragg, Elvis Costello, and Doug Sahm.
