While I can definitely remember Bob pissing off and offending various girlfriends and other female friends of mine with suggestive or lewd comments I would never have considered him "creepy"...rude, yes. Sexist, definitely. But it always seemed to me that he was trying to get a rise out of folks with that stuff, being deliberately provocative. But he was a sweet, stand up guy with an unbelievable love for the purest rock'n'roll. He was funny, in my experience hje was kind and generous. I had some amazingly great adventures with Bob...smoking weed with him and Monsieur Jeffrey Evans in the back of '68 Comeback's van outside of Satyricon in Portland...waiting in line and Garageshock...and how many goddamn shows at Gibson's? Bob's apartment above Tweedy & Pop's True Value Hardware in Wallingford was a much more interesting museum to rock'n'roll than the Stupid EMP. My condolences to his son and family. My condolences to everybody.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03767607208245955679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6869535899744508416.post-69663960100476523382009-12-03T18:12:43.580-08:002009-12-03T18:12:43.580-08:00Thank you for sharing this.

We chatted each other up all the time at the gigs. I hope to be as hip to killer rock 'n' roll when I'm in my mid-50's and not give a rat's ass how young everybody else is around me!

I find it odd that I was thinking what happened to that guy a few days ago. Sorry to see he has passed.timothy radarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15648667016797602347noreply@blogger.com
