It took years for me to warm up to Tim Yo. You know there was that whole fuck MRR and there pc nazi hunting bullshit. Dogging the Fuck Ups, FUs!!?? But I did tape that radio show alot and got turned on to some trippy shit. Who did that song “you’re just a tool used by the klan” Anyway he put my shitty super un pc band on his top ten which got a good review?!!!? Later I met one of my most bested friend Marian Anderson(RIP XXX000) who we started a crazy band together. Tim and Marian had a long sorted thingy and he came to all are shows and was an awesome dude. Remember I was at a show at Paradise Lounge Tim Yo and Wendy O were both dead. Me and my friends cried and got shitfaced and smashed it up. I cherish my brief talks with him like when I ate french onion soup with him and Jon Von and others. Marian had a little shrine with his hat and cigar up at her place in LA that I and my girl then lived with at the time. When she died I think her evil mom threw out his things like trash. HATE HER. Well blah blah blah….MISS YOU TIM!
