He performed someone else, electric, vitriolic, louder than possible, a jitterbug with an amplifier, irresistible and also more himself, more human and vulnerable at this volume and afterwards some kid did a mock interview of the band for a zine and I remember thinking that this was the first real rock experience of my life because I was transported, mesmerized by what sound and sight could do, even to someone I knew intimately. The music was horrible.
