51. I've been listening to Can since 1975.

There were a couple of writers in the British music weeklies of the time who thought they were gods - they were - and I took their advice and have been there forever since. I own EVERY ONE of the original albums on vinyl.

You either get that kind of genius the first time you hear it or not at all. I interviewed Holger Czukay almost twenty years ago when he was in town with Doc Walker. The article was never published, but it was a treat to speak with Holger,who was a kind and benevolent man, sort of a German Albus Dumbledore both in looks and manner. Especially when he pre-read an article on Can I gave him and called me up in Minnesota to offer some additional background information for the piece. Sadly, that was also never published.

Was Mark Smith in The Fall? I remember a mind-roasting cover of "Incense and Peppermints" by Laura Elise "Brix" Smith and the Adult Net and IIRC Brix was Smith's GF at the time and most of The Adult Net were members of The Fall. It killed. Exhibit A:

. Gads, I was so in love with this (and Brix) when I was in college.

Kricfalusi was a fucking genius that had and has absolutely no discipline. Ren & Stimpy got me back into animation after a long absence. "YOU ATE THE FIVE BUCKS!!!!!!" John K's big problem was that he just would never cut out the tenth fart joke in an episode that already had nine of them. He could have changed the world like "Animaniacs" did, but he refused to compromise on the silly shit.
