In 1980-something, Big Black played a show in San Francisco, at the I Beam. The opening band was a band I'd never heard of, Jane's Addiction. I learned that the group's singer was Perry Farrell, whose previous band, Psi Com, I had hated outright. I did not look forward to their set.

After their set, the singer asked me what I thought of it. I said, "I've never actually heard Rush, but that's what I always imagined they sounded like."

He left me alone after that.
