But in the interval, whilst I'm standing *at the urinal* in the gents toilet, some guy walks in and says, "Hey - The Chicken. That's Jaco Pastorius, right?" I doubt if one person in five hundred over here has even heard that tune. Maybe there is hope after all!
is a jaco pastorius album labelled as a "Special Import" at your local music store? didn't think so, you've still got it good.

I always try and compliment bands, even if they suck.
Sure, it's hypocrisy, but sometimes they buy you beer!
