I was playing a show a few months ago and definitely recognized the guy running the sound board . I talked to a few of my friends from high school , asking if they recognized him and they didn ' t . I figured he must have been someone from college . I walked past him a few times and was 100 % sure it was someone I knew . Very distinct hair and style of clothes and face and attitude . When I said Hey , man , don ' t we know one another ? his face lit up and he totally recognized me too . Was he from college ? No . Was he from the school I studied at for one semester ? No . was he from near my home town ? No . Had we met recently in Boston ? No . We both agreed it had been like 23 years since we had last seen one another , but we had absolutely no idea where from . I can picture myself kickin it on a couch while this guy helped himself to beer . I can picture myself at college as well as in Boston with this guy . But damn . We just couldn ' t figure it out and it ' s haunted me since .
