Maury, please forgive us

Maury, you were the first fan to ever write us a letter. Frank Riley's girl friday with the sandias grandes delivered it to us at the 9:30 club in Georgetown. This must have been, what? 1984? We were a bit shaky, cause we had just seen our first Norwegian rat out in the alley... fucker was big! Anyhow, you wrote a very nice letter about how much our songs meant to you and how we represented a changing of the guard... or was it underwear? You included a self addressed stamped envelope for us to reply which was very thoughtful. I believe we tore off a piece of the pizza carton and wrote a reply using the black perma-marker reserved for the nightly set list. We can only imagine how your delight turned to disgust as you opened that envelope and read our own heartfelt response: BLOW ME MAURY!!!!
