That sounds like plenty of appetizer to me.-a I rarely can finish
a restaurant meal; I never order appetizers.

Our favorite place has ala carte.-a I typically order 1 tostada, but my
m-i-l orders a burrito, which is huge, and her appetite is small.-a She
cuts off the two ends and gives one to me and one to the f-i-l. On the
infrequent occasion where we go there with my wife's parents, I usually
order two tostadas. I NEVER waste food.-a If there *were* anything left, >>> it would be taken home.

Haha.-a I ran across an old photo from 25 years ago.

White punks on dope.

Not even a drop of beer for me for about 48 hours before shows. I wanted
to be angry, and beer makes me too nice. After sets, I'd do my share to
break down and load equipment, but only after chugging an entire pitcher
of cheap beer, which typically only took a few minutes.

The show linked to below was funny. The band that opened for us were
personal friends, and so I helped them set up all of their equipment,
and during their set I twice went and fetched them a pitcher of beer and
mugs. Then I helped them take down their equipment and set up ours. To anyone who didn't know me, which was most folks there, I looked like a
roadie. I can imagine that a lot of them were quite surprised to see me
pick up a microphone. We opened with *Funny Uncle Sam*.

The first public show we ever did, we shocked folks even more. It was a
free show, and we'd put up a zillion fliers, so there were a lot of
folks there. Nothing in how we were dressed in any way suggested what
was to happen when we opened with *Coat Hanger Days*. I'd said something
like, I'm happy to see you all here. We're The Bonobos. Then, it was
like a switch got flipped and I went into projecting the image of
someone who would like to go out into the audience and tear out jugulars
with my teeth. I have plenty of genuine hate, and I channeled it through
my performances. Beer would have dulled that.>

I certainly hope that wasn't the band John Kuthe kept crowing about.

Of course not, you demented cunt. I never played in a band with Kuthe.
Back in 1979 or 80, the Cheep Effects asked me if they could use a poem
I had written as lyrics, and I told them, yes. I never played in a band
with Kuthe. Get that through your thick head.

The picture is The Bonobos. You *can* see Kuthe in this video, on the
left of the screen, dancing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SStEMsI4lqk
He was at that show, front and center.

Here are two more videos, *Joe McCarthy's Grave* and *Coat Hanger Days*. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ6CbZrrv88 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-70JyDBVSz8>
