I hate to say this Greg ,But maybe it's you.
  Maybe he saw your Hammer& sycal(????hope the spellcheck will get
it)badge.Or maybe he was pissed off because you got in under
"concessions".Or it could of been the real ale(Which you brewed yourself)
stain down the front of your tweed jacket,Which is in good nick considering
you got it in the seventies.
    Or was it the nicotine stain on your greying goatee beard...........Or
maybe he thought you were going to ask him for a dime............Or maybe he
just  KNEW.

> Just went to see the legendary Minutemen/Firehose/Iggy Pop/Jane's
Addiction/Schooly D bassist Mike Watt in Boston. Small gig--less than 40
people, due to the World Series. Who should show up in the audience but
David Thomas, leader of Pere Ube (his current band was playing next door). I
reached up in the sky and tapped his huge shoulder, trying to indroduce
myself and thank him for his long career in music. When I asked, "Are you
Dave", he barely nodded, turned around, and then walked out of the club. (Of
course, he retured after the show to talk to the legendary Mike Watt).I've
heard in the past he's a strange guy--he walked out of a radio interview in
Cleveland (where he's from) that my friend was conducting. Also saw him
perform in the early 80s in Cleveland, and his big fat parents were in the
audience!
