Glad to know he's working, always worried after him after circumstance moved him through the Joke lower intestine. Here's hoping he saves his money so he can get back to something at a respectable level some day. This sounds like Go West and David Bowie spooging on a paisly button down in 1987.

The rhythm section is completely reduced to a dull, incidental rattle
on HOSANNAS -- which is actually a damn shame, as I was quite
impressed with Benny's playing circa the 2005 shows.

What's become of him since being discharged from the ranks?

Agreed. I've played "Singularity" for certain friends of mine who
aren't Joke-o-philes, and they're all like "Actually,...this is really
good!"

To which I say, "OF COURSE it's good, you soma-engorged lemming!!!
blah blah blah.

The rhythm section is completely reduced to a dull, incidental rattle
on HOSANNAS -- which is actually a damn shame, as I was quite
impressed with Benny's playing circa the 2005 shows.

What's become of him since being discharged from the ranks?
