    1.“In '96, I was a skinny blond guy with buzzed hair and wire-rimmed glasses working graveyard shift at a convenience store in Austin. The night Soul Coughing played downtown, college kids kept walking in and stopping dead to stare at me. Finally one couple asked, 'What the hell are you doing here??' 'I work here.' 'You played a concert and then came to work here?' Turns out I looked so much like Mike Doughty that people thought the lead singer was working the Stop-N-Go right after the show. 'THANK YOU, AUSTIN, WE LOVE YOU – BUT I HAVE TO STOCK THE BEER COOLER.'”
