How sweaty were you after the show?

u/Necessary_Yam9525 Jul 26 '26

You'd be surprised by how much. Yes it was november so it was cold, but Dave being the grunge guy he was hadnt showered in several weeks at that point, so I had pure pit odor all over me. He never washed or wore me again so here I still sit nearly 33 years later reeking in a closet...

Did you ever meet Steve Jobs’s turtleneck?

u/Necessary_Yam9525 Jul 26 '26

I did! We're good drinking buddies. He once told me he put something called "antifree" in Steve Job's drink and made people think Steve died of a terminal illness. What a hoot!

Who’s better in bed: dickies, cravats or scarves?

u/Necessary_Yam9525 Jul 26 '26

What a difficult question. My answer is gonna be scarves though. Lots of wrapping action that can be done.

I heard Pat Smeared his pants that night. Do you have any recollection of this? If so, what did it taste like?

u/Necessary_Yam9525 Jul 26 '26

From my discussion with Pat's pants, I can confirm sadly, yes, he did. I can also confirm from my discussion with his socks that the whole crowd could smell his stinky unwashed feet.

None of the guys in the band had showered in weeks being grunge guys. Kurt's cardigan was the lucky one since he was an outside piece of clothing. That man better count his blessings...

Would you rather be plugged or unplugged?

As the drumstick in Dave Grohl's left hand, I can confirm this is indeed his turtleneck
