Well, Spinner folks, you would think TMJ were worth mentioning if you had seen them utterly RAWK the Paradise Rock Club in Boston, as I did, in the spring of '93. I had never heard of the band before the gig, but my friends who worked at the college radio station said, "Trust me, these guys are GOOD!" So I went and enjoyed a concert experience I still recall to this day. True story: The glasses got knocked from my face during an impromptu mosh toward the end of the show, and a bunch of punk rockers were trying to help me find them during the encore, as the band gently sang, "Smash a glass and cry..." I'm like, "Are these guys singing about ME?" Yeah, you WERE singing about me.
