by the way,  no one has mentioned this interesting little fact:

  as far as my knowledge goes that is the first and only pic known to man where Buzz Osborne has a MELVINS shirt on.

It's also the first time I have to ignore my "bands that wear their own shirts suck" rule.

give 'em a break. it was 1980something.  he was but a young lad.   he's learned the error of his ways.
besides, its a bitchin shirt.

I'm pretty sure that's a nineties picture. I know Mark D filled in on bass briefly in the eighties, but the pic with Buzz sporting a Melvins shirt is from the early nineties.

Btw, Buzz sporting a Melvins shirt shows that the man has excellent taste. OK, it's his own band, but I think he would like the Melvins a whole lot if it wasn't his band. What do you think?

What do you think?

I'd buy that for a dollar.

Is that an expression I don't get as a foreigner, or is it one of your jokes again? Come on! I want to know! Would Buzz like the Melvins if it wasn't his band? It's such a simple question.

It's kinda complicated since there would be no Melvins without Buzz and no one else could write his songs and so on  ... but that doesn't answer the question so... of course he would like 'em. Didn't he once say that they always do stuff that they'd like as fans?

[norecess]

Or maybe he would bitch around how there's no bands really he's interested in, and that no one's doing anything new! Just a thought.

Hey bathroom, where are you from?

its a complex and slangy means of acknowledgement.  in other words I agree with you.   I think Buzz WOULD like MELVINS.

the "I'd buy that for a dollar" reference is, at least in my instance, a reference to a video game known as Smash TV.   the game is based loosely upon the movie The Running Man with Arnold Schwartzeneggar (or however the hell its spelled) in that its like a futuristic game show where you fight for your life inside a pre-fabricated course.     The host of the gameshow says "I'd buy that for a dollar" when he is accepting something.     somehow it stuck in my head and to this day I will occasionally use the reference when I am agreeing with someone or something.          I guess you gotta be an old-fuck like me to get the reference since Smash TV was released in the 1980's.  or as best as I can recall.

Ha, that'd be a total recall then! (1990)

Yeah, I thought of Running Man when I read it. That creepy Family Feud guy was always saying it.Richard Dawson.
