I was a teenager at the right time to discover their newer stuff first (Soundtrack to Your Escape) and then went back and loved their earlier albums. It was a bit of a drag hearing fans chanting “Play the old shit” the couple times I saw them live. I can’t say I’ve listened to much of their newest albums but it was fun to enjoy anything they played at the time.

Actually yes. The most distinct thing that I remember was the intense sinus pain. Like a burning pain.

I caught it in my 30s and it was two weeks of misery. I had never been that sick with a respiratory virus in my life. It’s easy to see it being dangerous for the very young and old.
