    hmm, I wonder if I can be a true Moderatehead and make it to y'alls' next show, would that be four in a row, or five? locally of course, I guess to be a true Moderatehead I would have had to get my butt up to New York for yer shows up there, oh well, alas, I'm just a butthead, not a Moderatehead, ha, hope I can make to y'alls show at DC9 this Sunday
