He was in 'Machete', though…

Meh. I'm holding out for Felicia 'Snoop' Pearson's audiobook of the Tao Te Ching, the recording of which I will personally finance when I win the lottery.

I saw Rush on the Counterparts tour. Primus had been the opening act…. until the night we saw them, when they dropped off the tour and Candlebox took over the slot. If they had been terrible, at least that would have been something I could remember about them.
