Dropped out of college in '82, became sick of working in the steel mills, and moved to Bloomington from the Region in '83 where I paid my landlord, the well-known lout and raging idiot Larry McCaughnahy, $75/month for a dumpy room at the corner of 4th and Dunn.

I doubt the dude in the western shirt is very happy about this photo, whereby it appears that the creature from Alien is about to tear through the flesh of his face. Or about being gently chin-caressed by Moz. Or about singing a duet with Chris Sw...
I read it the same way...I became confused by the positive prose that followed - I assumed what would follow was that the music totally sucked. Glad to hear this sort of thing is happening in B'ton.
