I dont know if I was delirious or what, but after a show a couples of years back, J. gave me a magical ring from stage while I was in the crowd. He was playing with like 4 fucking Marshall stacks and 3 Fender smaller amps hooked together in SF when he reunited with Lou Barlow and Murph somewhere down Market street.
