That unassuming looking guy up there is Garland Jeffreys. He wrote one of the Circle Jerks' signature songs, "Wild In the Streets". He was a long time pal of Lou Reed's, from before the Velvet Underground. He was buds with Bob Marley, Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen. I saw a photo of him, somewhere online, planting one on Bette Midler's kisser. And he wrote "Wild In the Streets".
His stuff isn't what you'd call exciting, but it is good and has a certain groove that comes in handy when your putzing around the house, at least that's how I get my feet wet. That was meant as a compliment, really.
