[kj] Meat Puppets return

[Christof hamille]

Never cared for them.  A friend of the family was their tour manager during 
their, albeit brief, mainstream success in the 90's.  And of all the bands 
he has worked with over the years he said they were the worst as far as rock 
star reckless behaviors.  And he has worked with some whacked out people in 
their prime.  Grant it, from my understanding, this was at the height of 
their drug addictions, etc.  And as a result he only wound up working with 
them for 3 years.
