If you wanted to play covers, unless you wanted buy sheet music, you had to just figure 'em out. In the end I was the one who figured out most of the songs we ended up playing, just cause I was the egomaniac frontman, and nobody else was gonna do it ...

Here's me and my bandmates, circa 1994 ... I *think* this was the day Kurt passed away, or within days for sure. And it was RIGHT around when I learned Shine ... you'll never guess which is Mr L, the frontman ... lol ... I was going for my U2 Joshua Tree look, with the B&W and shit ...
