That was a great line, but I want to know how he fought with the band members if he could barely walk, or was that a different tour.

I think he probably twated them with his walking stick. Actually I think the tongue is more venomous than the fists….


And he is married to the hot keyboardist….

She looked alright in person, still a one eyed dog would probably be more attractive than Mark E.

Yeah, I did a 50 yesterday. I didnt think it was that cold. So I didnt wear a balaclava. My face still hurts. My water bottle froze after about an hour…..

What gloves do you have?

in recent years i've come to see mark e. as a slightly bigger version of the backwards talking twin peaks midget. without a bunch of teeth. i'm not sure, but i have a feeling that the talk about the onstage fight was at least 5 or 6 years ago. i remember they played the old black cat in 1998 and then were off to new york from there and there were some … domestic issues with mark and the then-keyboard player who he was then dating, and jail was involved. i think things have been relatively smoother lately, hip problems aside. i think i heard he slipped on some ice.

there is no greater band in the history of music than the fall.

yeah, when I rode yesterday from the house to the hill was fine - cold but not terrible - on the way home I had an artic wind gusting into my face the whole time - I was dying

I have performance gore tex gloves - you lose a little dexterity but when its this cold you need em

look at me, almost at 1,000 posts :D
