Boston's mob-adjacent 1980s clubs ran on cash, cocaine, and local celebrity; those who cracked them rarely left what Cross calls a velvet prison.

    Good to see you.

  6. DC

    Good to see you.

  7. JR

    Dude, I haven't seen you in a long fucking time. When was the last time we were actually in a room together?

  8. DC

    I, well, I was trying to think of that. I don't know... I would imagine post Newsradio, we hung out at some point, at some show somewhere.

  9. JR

    Somewhere.

  10. DC

    But I don't know. But I do remember, uh, 'cause I did Newsradio a couple times, and we, we hung out, and I remember, I think we both... No, just you had more hair then. [laughs]

  11. JR

    [laughs]

  12. DC

    Uh, I was probably already at this point, um-

  13. JR

    I was fighting-

  14. DC

    Yeah

  15. JR

    ... to keep it. I was hanging on.

  16. DC

    Do you, are you, do you shave or is that it? Is that bald-

  17. JR

    Oh, it's, I mean, I'm bald.

  18. DC

    Yeah.

  19. JR

    If I didn't shave, I'd be bald all the way up here.

  20. DC

    Yeah.

  21. JR

    But I got a hair transplant, and it was useless.

  22. DC

    It's, yeah.

  23. JR

    I jo- I did a joke about it. I go, "Having a hair transplant is like taking people that are healthy and moving them into a neighborhood where everyone's dying."

  24. DC

    [laughs]

  25. JR

    This is just like, "Where did Bob go?" He just fucking flew off the face of the earth.

  26. DC

    So, uh, yeah, you'd say you just, uh, accepted it-

  27. JR

    Yes

  28. DC

    ... and said, "Fuck it," yeah.

  29. JR

    I should've done it a long time ago.

  30. DC

    Yeah.
