AB,
I,ve talked with EB on a few occasions, after club gigs, no
less, after the band's heyday, and have always found him congenial,
even when I was drunk and babbling at him.  He is the first band
member to greet the fans (well, maybe a tie with Buck) and the only
time he ever came close to shitting on me was when I needled him
about omitting 'Wings of Mercury' from BOC recordings.  I would say
that Buck was even more friendly than Eric, but both were decent
people.  People shouldn't expect too much, even from their heroes,
who are, after all, humans same as us, and subject to the same
stresses we all are...
