Sweet action for kids 'n' cretins. Marjoram and capers.

I now make $30/hr. working with my brother-in-law in the Fort Worth area, with full Blue Cross/Blue Shield benefits
Eyes on the prize, Arnold, this isn't about you.
Harv died on April 19, 1986, late at night on a rainy back road outside of Denton. He lost control of his beloved Pinto, sheered off a telephone pole then rolled the car into a drainage ditch. From what I was told by a mutual friend who was first on the scene, his Sparkomatic cassette player was still playing Joan Jett & the Blackheart’s Bad Reputation. This was the favorite album of Mary Jane Halberstadt, the love of Harv’s life who had broken up with him a few months earlier. Something about him not growing in the same direction. Had they been together, she’d probably have died, too. Harv went out the way he lived: rocking like there was no tomorrow.
And at this point, you have to know it's a joke.

Right?

I consider it a possibility, but not for sure. Although he has detailed recollection of all those shows, as I only have vague ones of shows that were last year.

Where were Triumph during this mid-eighties masturbation-disguised-as-charity event?
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

How can this not be a joke?
Rush: My smart-guy band was The Alan Parsons Project. Harv’s was Rush. Listening to them made us feel smart. I knew a lot about pyramids. Harv knew a lot about food preparation. Neil Peart was his idol, although he reminded me of the stuck-up salesman at Radio Shack who played King Crimson records to prospective stereo buyers.

There's lots there that is believable, but so many of the details are cliches or just fuckin' nuts. Like him talking about going to a porn shop while Harv went to see Triumph—huh?

Drop the "cleverly" and we might be reaching a consensus.
