He's
all over Nurse, and just as much NYC G&F! And lets not forget the very best of the SYR records 3, 4, and 6! When I saw him playing live with them (four times if I remember right!) he had a huge smile on his face and looked like he was having a blast.
I'm sure he wanted to move on when he left, because he did, but to say he didn't enjoy it makes no sense. Why would he have given up half a decade of his life if he didn't enjoy it? It's not like he was getting rich from them or couldn't have found another gig. He still plays with Thurston pretty frequently. Sure, for Jim O' Rourke long term membership to a group is probably not ever going to happen, but h totally went at it full bore in Sonic Youth.
