Great timing Lane!
I walked from House's house to Ruby Tuesday with him on the night of the show. As we reached Summit there was a group of Buckeye frat boys on their porch and they began yelling at us--not in a totally obnoxious way--"Hey guitar man, what's in the case?"
"Cheap Canadian knockoff."
"Hey guitar man, play us a song."
House whips out his guitar, jumps on a huge tree stump in their front yard and gives them about a minute of an obscure GP song "Aesthetic Insanity." The song starts out w/ a dick tattooing and the excerpt ended with the word "cornhole."
At the beginning the frat boys were smirking and elbowing each other. By the end they were staring dumbfounded. Someone--maybe me--yelled "clap" and they did.
There's yr fuckin' punk rock.
House killed at the actual show doing the aforementioned tune, another GP obscurity about a hamburger boy and a cover of an acid archives folk number "The Superlative Life Is Free."
Rep and the Quotas, up next, killed, a thousand times better than X was the next night at the Newport and X weren't too bad either.
I don't know if that tree stump's name was Desire but it should have been.
