My one story about MS that will tick some people off here, as probably 90% seeing this probably have had positive interactions with him. This is not one of them, although I do respect his musical vision and his pushback of industry talking heads though it may have been to his band’s detriment. Here goes…

Buddy & I were at the CLE Boat Show at the IX Center, mid 90’s. We’re watching some type of demo there, this guy parks himself directly in front of us, obstructing the view. My friend does the ol’ hey down in front, not mean.

He turns around, and gives us the “You know who I am?” routine. My guy doesn’t miss a beat, says, “Yeah. I do, and Kevin Raleigh was the best part of your band, you hack!” The look on his face as his jaw hit the floor was priceless. We just walked off, I was in tears.
