This guy just doesn't stop...

"I heard him on NPR once being interviewed by TerryGross. He came off pretty bad. He tried playing rock star like the interview was beneath his coolness and ended up sounding like a real fool. Bad interview possibly and maybe misjudged the moment and audience. Ignorant and uninformed at a minimum. It was pretty cringe worthy moment and funny in the end he could be that dim."

I remember that interview.Gene is...Gene. He does know how to keep the revenue stream going.

I can't believe there WILL be someone to ante up for that silly package!

“That Terry Gross interview was bizarre. Chaim Weiss revealed himself as a total a$$. You can pull it up from the internets.”

ncarv, your purposefully mentioning Gene’s real name is stealth anti semitism and NOTHING ELSE

So stealth I don't see it.

Quite the opposite. My reference to his real name is to reveal him as a phony and a sad attempt to escape his identity. Perhaps something else? (Please, goldenear1948, no reason to be so reactive.)

Furthermore, I am Jewish, my father was born in Berlin and arrived in the USA with my grandparents, and most of the rest of his family was destroyed in The Holocaust. A handful made it to Israel and the US.

@tablejockey---Oops, I just now finally saw your question from 12-15-17 to me! I’m up in Vancouver Washington now, just over the border from Portland Oregon. A couple drummers I knew in L.A. moved up here before me, one of whom---Jose Medeles of The Breeders---has opened a cool little drum shop, Revival Drums. There is a very active, healthy music scene here, and some good record shops. Music Millennium has a huge amount of floor space dedicated to LP’s. I’m liking it up here. Rather dark and wet, which is a pleasant change from the bright and hot SoCal!
