She hinted at trying to fix me up with him. My bratty 18 year old self didn't want to take his mom's advice and go down introduce myself the next time they played Jabberjaw. (Also, heaven forbid I spend more time at Jabberjaw than absolutely necessary). The Northridge quake hit and threw everything out whack, we never did meet up.

After a while, I was grudgingly forced to admit it is a great record. The chorus of "Montebello" is sublime.

His dad is/was a pretty well known radio DJ in his hometown.

He said he really liked The Sugarplastic... I just remember my jaw dropping.

Thank heavens I was there to prevent this from happening.
