Madonna of the Wasps is probably my favorite of his as well, but he had a lot of good stuff.

Saw him open for REM back in the day...

Man, that was a great show, it was on the "Green" tour.

Can you believe my boyfriend (at the time) got backstage passes for that gig and didn't let me know until the NEXT DAY!?!?!

I was so pist! Granted, that was pre-cell phones, but still, he knew where I was sitting (I can't remember why we didn't have tickets together now) and could have come and got me!!!!

There's a reason that relationship didn't work out......
