2. I used to work with Nick Knox in an office job.

It'd be great to hear story after story after story of the early days with The Electric Eels and then the Cramps on the road. Even though he played with them for 13 years, he didn't have really kind things to say about "Lox and Oy Vey", calling them phonies and rip-off artists ("I could name about a dozen 50s rockabilly and blues riffs they blatantly stole off the top of my head"). Said he made some cash from the deal, a lot of which he snorted. He looks back on it with fondness overall, but felt slighted since he had to watch all of these bands that opened for them (thanks to over-cautious management). . . such as the B-52s, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Go-Gos, etc, all rocket to stardom while they still remained mostly on the brink of breaking out of the underground but never did.

Supposedly he's a damned good gardener. That's about all he can do since his lower back is now like tissue paper. He can't play drums anymore and really has no interest.
