he was scary intense. intense as in "i'm having shitloads of fun in a way you will never understand" intense. i think perhaps liquor was involved.

Saw Hasil at Brownies about 4 years ago; it was tremendous. I was incredibly happy when he sang the line about how she "looked over at him like a dying can of that commodity meat" in "She Said" and it sounded just like the record.

I seem to remember the whole set lasted about 20 minutes, and then he said "I'm tired," and put his guitar down and walked offstage. And nobody was bummed about it at all.

Let's not forget Haz helped prompt this hilarious Sting rant in a letter to the Village Voice:
