Bill is such a great guy. We were friends in C-dale. I actually suggested that they name themselves "The Blue Meanies" when they first started (before they had picked out a name). Glad they ended up with so many fans over the years.

I was at that show was amazing

Saw these guys in my hometown of Waterloo, IA a few times. They brought it! Didn't treat them like throwaway gigs. They were always great. Respect.

M!

I just found this video and was going to comment that I'm in that pit somewhere, then I saw me from 9 years ago in the comments. Weird.

Wow, Bill is still kickin out the jams! I saw these guys when they formed in Carbondale, IL (SIU) back in the late 80's! Bill is the only original (and founder/leader) of that early SIU band. Cool video!

If we are thinking of the same guitarist (very quiet and long hair)..his name was Chuck. He was my friend Jill's boyfriend. Oh wait...otosbutt, you must BE CHUCK!!
