So, does anybody like this guy, or am I alone?
A friend gave me a copy of the Sympathy for the Record Industry re-issue of The Evil One, and I'm really stoked.

So, this thread is made for anyone who wants to give this man some love!

yea ive heard some of his solo stuff and liked it."Creature with the atom brain", "bermuda", "two headed dog" are all great songs. I like how he kept the electric jug that the 13th elevators used still in music. Also he did a really great tribute to buddy holly with "starry eyes", it sounds a lot like him.
