Luckily it’s not the hardest goal out there (gulp). Then again, it ties into deeper issues. My plan is …
1. answer the phone unless I’m in the middle of a conversation with someone else, even if I don’t know who is calling
2. return missed phone calls the same day if possible, the next day at the latest
3. once a week call someone I haven’t been in touch with lately but want to be
Oh My God Matt, I had forgotten all about the high school battle of the bands thing. Bumpy Toast had half nude hippie dancers and that's why they won. Their record was called Penis Butter and Jelly! I think we came in second??? Blood was shed for certain.
battle of the bands, beehive, bumpy toast. there was blood and drunk both. this was the greatest pittsburgh band. they were so young, they were like Hanson, except drunk and good.
long live the northern bushmen!
I hardly went on to form the Cynics, You are going to have to correct that. This page reminds me that I need to wield the bass again and that Biggest Player was a fine song.
And I get to be the first to post a comment! First time I saw the Bushmen was December '90 opening for Pegboy and The Jesus Lizard at the Upstage. I'll see about posting the flyer!
