Just for the record, this wasn't at the Aquacade, which if I remember

stage in an open field elsewhere in the park, the better to foster much
muddy slam-dancing.

Uh, I believe Lou's from Pittsburgh, but maybe he's lived in the tri-state
area and since acquired that accent.  He sounded more nondescriptly
middle-American, though, when Dave the Spazz interviewed him a few years
back.

baseball players any day.  "Bring the kids, bring the wife, guaranteed to
