Fast-forward to C60’s performance. Loud, proud and dirty, their leader was a red dread-locked maniac with plenty of energy to spare. The crowd, myself included, seemed pathetically eager to welcome them, coming as they did on the heels of some intensely boring presentations. Fortunately, C60 didn’t disappoint, with blistering guitar attacks and wild gyrations injecting energy into a flagging atmosphere. I noticed however, that all their rebellious posturing seemed very much like a pose. Their “spontaneous” thrashing appearing self-conscious and rehearsed...
...PRESIDENT: Well, it maybe created a filter problem, you know? But I think America is beginning to really realize that we're serious about good environmental quality. We had wetlands, lead and diesel - all these regulations that are sending a clear signal.

...when he was young, Waddle did not have much contact with his father during his boyhood. His mother Barbara remarried, to another Air Force pilot, but his stepfather, quiet and reserved, was not the model for Waddle's own personality. Says he: "I'm not like that. I am loud and opinionated--I like to be the center of attention." Even his acts of generosity take on showman quality. One Christmas Waddle used airline vouchers he had accumulated to upgrade 18 complete strangers to first class on a flight from Denver to Seattle...
