exactly. He doesn't have that "i'm in the band" attitude problem at all. I've have several delightful conversations with Steve. Once when I compared Sonic Youth the Dead (and their free shows at the Fillmore East) for throwing the SY community oriented "Filter Anniversary" gig he then brought me over to Lee to talk about the Dead because he insisted Lee as the SY resident deadhead. When I asked Lee about if he was in fact the SY deadhead he responded coyly, " Sure, I might be from time to time."
Another time Steve spent twenty minutes chatting it up about music with me behind the free show at the Santa Monica promenade in 2006 (??). We tried to talk him into getting us in on the list but he was way to sincere telling us, "dudes I really would but then some folks already on the list might get bumped and they've already been working hard. but good luck on storming the gate."
me and my friend did somehow manage to talk the lone chick momentarily guarding the back door with the clip board that we were some random names we had seen on that list, hesitantly she let us in and we managed to stay there by the stage for three songs until the dickhead manager of that store who had kicked us out for trying to sneak in the front door without a wristband (where we also succeeded by the way
) recognized us and again gave us the boot. When we saw Steve coming out after the show he flagged us down and asked us, "Did y'all manage to sneak in?" We said yeah but then that dickhead manager kicked us (we were still grinning ear to ear though rather than being stoic about it) and to that he gave a high five and was out.
much love Steve, you're the shit.
