This kid probably had just learned to walk when Gish came out. On the other hand, becoming the drummer of SP at this point is like being named the Minister of Finance in a small, third-world island country about to be overrun by rebels from the mountains.
I was actually listening to Gish last night in my basement while patching holes in the walls with hydraulic cement - preparing them for a waterproofing sealer. A more youthful me would never have imagined myself in that scenario.
Come on Portland, give Mickey a break. He's a good kid (well, he was a kid back when I knew him, he's probably a young adult now), and let's get behind him when he needs our support. Tearing him down isn't doing anyone any good.
