  1. Too bad I missed this, sounded like fun. Used to see him every now and then when I first started hanging out with the Alleyheads( a local metal band). I guess we frequented the same dives….which unfortunately, are now chi-chi velvet-roped yuppie bars with bouncers. Once, I picked him up out of the gutter near Sarno’s some years back. He had passed out and his two female companions were having trouble pulling his great bulk out of the way of passing buses and traffic.
