Any fans? I saw him the other night. Highly entertaining.

For those not aware, he was in a band called the Modern Lovers (pre-punk 70s). The band also included Jerry Harrison (moved on to the Talking Heads) and another dude that went on to be one of the originals in The Cars.

He was also in Kingpin and There's Something About Mary (sings the theme song and is often in the background playing guitar and singing)

Couldn't believe he was at the Pilot Light the other night. I really wanted to make it but it just didn't happen.

If that's in Knoxville - I believe it was the night before the Birmingham show.

It was unique - he stares at the crowd like a psycho. Highly entertaining.
