Saddam's invasion of Kuwait completely torpedoed the plans my parents had to take me to college that summer.  Instead of a big road trip, mom and I repacked everything into 2 medium-size moving boxes and checked them at the airport and flew out to school.

Yes, but there's actually an outside chance of them making it.

You would know, weren't you their bassist?

I did wear Bass shoes for a time in the 90s.

I liked the Spin Doctors. From about May to July 1994. I got their CD on sale at Target. My wife looked at me like I was nuts but then she realized she liked them too, for about the same amount of time.

Did they compliment the Members Only jacket?

I had a members-only jacket back around 1980, a few years before they were popular. I wore the jacket to school and the jockabillies joked and asked if it was some kind of bondage gear. I assured them that it was and they were real quiet after that, though one later asked me where I got it when the others weren't around.
