Liked as both a reference to the show AND as a former Northern Kentuckian.

Your name's Barry, isn't it?

Saw these guys in Boston a couple weeks ago, on my birthday as a present from Mrs Shake.  They were better than they had any right to be.  I YouTubed "Killing Joke Boston Paradise" and found some cool videos.  Really, really great stuff.  One of the more memorable moments was when Jaz did a big spiel and yelled out

He was amazing doing that character, and a similar one on that one-season show called "Halfway Home" where he played, if i recall, some sort of gigolo-type with the Spanish Mike accent.  I knew Nunez was brilliant when he was telling a story about "a lost weekend with Iggy Pop in the eighties" and when he went to do

I write the local news.  It's awful, soul-killing stuff day-in, day-out.  But in the morning (which I write), we intersperse stories about bears in backyards and wild new trends with the rapes, stabbings, and murders.  It's a living as a writer, but damn it's hard on your soul some days to get all the details we CAN'T
