jeff...fumes....and silk we're having a supreme court practice at the drummers house. he's a house painter. it's july ...really hot. the room we're in has no ac ...it's really a room he stores old paint and solvents. the only air really is a box fan blowing those fumes around. jeffs wearing these long shorts...some silk shirt and a long purple scarf. it's really miserable in there....the fumes are getting to him.he starts singing "hot potato"....i notice he's seems like somethings bothering him or he dosen't feel well....he gets to the lines " did anything come for me in the mail....who keeps callin and hangin' up ?...just as he got to the next line " is there something on my neck" ...i noticed his skin was covered with these blisters.....i guess somethig was on his neck....i think it was a reaction to the room....anyway it looked a little better the next day.but, there was something about the combination of those lyrics...the room ...his clothes the blisters that made it a jeff moment.......mike holbrook
