I never knew I never knew him. Wonder if his production would have altered the recording (I mean... come on... better than Butch Vig???). Funny to know that a guy from Lancaster could have produced the album that changed the direction of alternative rock. Also worthy of noting is his work with the Smithereens.
Sweet post, I'm enjoying this site a lot.
