And really, for me, that sort of sums it up. Abstaining Tom caught these
details about these guys, and I wonder how much patience on-the-wagon Tweedy
needed to have with these obnoxious idiots. If the club can't take steps to
quiet, or remove drunken-stupid patrons who are

It has struck me that Tweedy has gotten to be much more of an attitude
performer as the years have rolled on. In UT, he was quite the ray of
sunshine and the entertaining one compared to Farrar, and he continued to
have an entertainer's approach and worked his intrinsic charm
