apropos of nothing

I just remembered something that happened while I was in New York last month. I was waiting for the subway at 72nd Street and saw Will Lee, the Late Night bass player. I recognized him right away; he had a bass strapped on his back, so he was kind of hard to miss. I told my mom, "Holy shit, dude, that's the guy who played bass on Ace Frehley's solo album!" This was lost on her, though -- all she could say was, "Don't call me 'dude.'" Can you imagine?

(By the way, don't believe the review All Music gives Ace's solo record. That album rocks.)
