"Been out of the loop for awhile after knee surgery to repair torn cartilage on Sept 1. Was practicing doing those backflips I am famous for during guitar solos when.... All went fairly well I guess, but am returning to the dr next Tues for follow up. Supposedly he made a video of the procedure, which involved the insertion of several space aged instruments into my knee, twisting them around awhile, wrapping the whole thing up in an ace bandage and sexy white stocking, then allowing me to puke for hours afterwards recovering from anesthesia. My wife Jeanne got the enviable task of proving her love to me (again) by emptying out bowls of stuff that would have made Linda Blair wince.
The nurse at the checkout desk refused to release the video to us, she must have known of my indie rock fame and it is probably being offered now on E-bay as we speak."
