        With the Melvins he came over as a man who was losing the fight
with his body to retire but wasn't going to admit it. Full of energy but
out of breath; apparently in shape but going bald ungracefully. I couldn't
really tell you whether he could sing or not, as he was guesting with the
Melvins he kept more or less in style which is to say that he was
guttural, staccato and more or less monotone. But it was quite fun all
the same. Yours,
                 Jon (who fears that he is falling behind with his mail
again)
