PIL were touring 'Album', which was a solid record, I had it on vinyl. Ginger Baker and Steve Vai actually played on it, which was a trip.

Very cool show, INXS were on friggin' fire at that time and I absolutely loved them ... saw them on Listen Like Thieves tour a few years before, and a couple more times after that. GREAT live band.

He bought the fishing rod and was on his way home in Boston.

He saw a line at a record store and found out that PIL was autographing records there

He handed the rod to Johnny and he said...

"A fishing rod!"

My brother replied..

"Evah been fishin' Johnny?"

He replied "no" and signed the handle - along with the rest of the band.
