- 5 guys. Different hairdos. Different hi-tops. Different records. All
- played different instruments.... Mother Love Bone.
- We wrote a bunch of funny, crazy songs that made us stomp around +
- shake buttocks. We laughed and had the time of our lives.
- The L.A. Contingent (serious people) took these songs seriously and
- bought us big dinners + told us stories about "Scarface" + "Chicks." We
- laughed, and went home to watch "The Big Picture" + "Spinal Tap." We
- laughed.
- Then, things got really seriously busy. We signed out autographs and
- became big business. We wrote more songs and dreamed big dreams, then...the
- Lakers failed to 3PEAT. Feeling devastated, we punished ourselves further by
- touring with The Dogs D'Amour (English Drunk Rock).
- We spent the next year planning + preparing for the "Master Plan."
- Producers, new t-shirts, riding our bikes, new fruit drinks, + occasionally
- delving into masturbation and the Occult to keep our minds off baseball
- season (Otherwise known as the slow season).
- Terry Date called us and said he talked G. + Curt Ass into making "The
- Record." It was time. San Francisco was 2 be our home 2 create "Apple." It
- was good. Earthquakes. Nintendo football. The Niners. The Bay Series. We
- laughed. Making records was fun.
- Then, we waited. Plans were planned. We waited, and dreamed big
- dreams. Our good friend Andrew then left us 4 Olympus (Heaven). We cried.
- "Apple" is all the time we spent together.
- Good memories.
