I’d never buy a house in that neighborhood. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKckQ4REU7M

And I’m sure I wouldn’t complain, if he were ever to play music. But chewing on the beams right under my head at 3:00 in the morning – that’s a different story.

(What would needle-punctures do to your speakers?) ;-)

Anyway, when you’re crashing at someone else’s pad, you don’t get to complain about their music….

wobblewax – I worked the night shift ina restaurant for a couple of years, part of it in a basement apartment. I fully emphathized with that porcupine – well, not enough to turn the music down. But I felt his pain.

Peter – Really? Cool.

Thanks for the smile.I think I see a Thurberesque sketch comin’ up…

I never did get to see RL before he passed. He was scheduled to play in State College once, but he got sick and they sent Jack Frost instead. Which wasn’t at all the same.

Zhoen – Heh. No bass boost on this machine. But I think he was pretty clearly trying to get away from it, and probably succeeding. I don’t think porcupines have especially acute hearing.
