...going places--JLW is the closest thing to a Boston group that you always feel you might be seeing in intimate circumstances for the last time. But sometimes I think that because they're basically a beer, bar and good-time band, fit for small places and close rapport, they'll stay in that closed circle--in which case Cambridge is still like Berkeley, where you can check into a club and see Garcia and Saunders or Asleep at the Wheel on a Tuesday night with nothing to do.

...interplay between the patient and doctor--who seems to be no more than a vehicle for exposing Jackson's story to the audience. Jackson offers an incident or impression and the doctor probes until we have learned the significance.

"I'd get stage fright," but "when I come out to conduct and the spotlight is on me, I'm not scared...
...theater alive with laughter (no matter if "smoking," "abortion," and "overeating" all turned up in this show again--the skits were always creative). As the actors came backstage from their final bows to give out mutual hugs of congratulations and relax briefly before the next show, a total rapport and group assurance seemed to wash over all the anxious tensions and worries of the past two hours, and even those of the show to come. After seven years, the aftermath of a success is a good, familiar feeling...
