Dearest Mister Mike Patton, many happy returns on this your 42nd birthday.

Age cannot wither you, nor custom stale your infinite variety.

Finest FNM memory goes way back to '95

Mr Patton and Co playing Northampton Roadmender, tiny venue and we blagged tickets.

I had long hair, wore a boiler suit and remember lunging forward at the front so that Mike could scream in my face. Got covered in phlegm.

One of the happiest nights of my life.

@Graphic Foodie - I do believe he is handsomer now than ever. As well as oozing God-like charisma. I really wish I'd spoken to him when he pushed in front of me at his ATP, but I was too in awe and simply malfunctioned.

@Food Urchin - My husband told me about the legendary reciprocal gobbing but I'd always thought it apocryphal. Aces.


@Chesrow - The sketch you mean? I bought it from the drummer/artist himself at the Patton / Melvins ATP and he was really lovely.
