quite a few writers.

Subject: uhhhhhhhhh yeah
ok linus is over here quoting ghostbusters word for
mutherfucking word.
this dude seriously fucking rulse....
yes I'm dunk.
New Orleans to see Ben Folds Five.
great time. Linus got me drinks. I
wasn't quite 21. This guy is a music
information guru. It was fun to work
with someone at The Reveille at LSU who
had even more of a passion for music
than I did. If only he'd start
publishing some comedic musings again.
Ben Lee at LSU...
the same car also took us to the Waffle
House late at night, so it wasn't
SOOOOOOOOO bad :)
worst car that I've ever ridden in.
I'll always remember cruising the
swamps of Louisiana in that POS with
it's cracked windshield, no brakes, and
alarm clock for a radio. What the hell
was that car anyway? Mustang?
Escort? Edsel?
naive youngster right off the farm. As
a former pig farmer, Mr. Lee could spot
blossoming potential, or he felt sorry
for me. Whatever. Now, Linus serves
as my music pimp keeping me in tune
with cool acts that never make it to
the eternally-boring Baton Rouge.
drug binges, driving north on I-20 with
the top down and Sebastian Bach
screaming his heart out thru 4"
speakers. He once grabbed the wheel and
saved both of us when I tried to dive
into a passing minivan with a driver
that looked like Tipper Gore. Hottie.
Anyway, Linus has grown older and wiser
now, as have we all, and no longer
insists on listening to Skid Row with
the top down, which is great, especially
if you live in Chicago. I don't, thank
god. Linus was a good writer when he was
a freshman, and I can only guess that
he's fantastic now. I never got the
opportunity to hear him on the radio,
they chased me out of Baton Rouge like
an asian in Toronto, but I bet that KLSU
was a madhouse with him at the mike.
out with than he is to work for. Great
guy, and he drinks a shitload of beer.
Needs some work on chugging, though.
He's got an ungodly catalog of who's
who in the music industry stored in
his noggin, and has helped me find me
way to some badass shows. I considered
tearing out his spine for stealing my
persona from, like, 4 years ago and
calling himself ChicagoLinus on AOL
instant messenger, but I decided to
let bygones be bygones, so I'm just
going to break his kneecaps.
also a wizard who surfs. I like him
best in his wolf-skin tunic.
