I had known Joe approximately two days when we were watching The Tonight Show at stately Drago Manor. All of a sudden, this band came on, and Joe yelped, "Holy shit! I know that guy!" This lead singer is that guy.
Yes, it's true. He's Nick Fowler, and he was really the funniest, wittiest guy in my high school. He graduated a year ahead of me, went to Cornell, founded a metal mag, did the band thing (there were some mafia connections that I think helped him get on Leno but also doomed the band), then went on to write a not-terribly-well-received novel. I think he's in NYC now teaching and playing the occasional gig. I keep waiting for him to show up on Facebook.

Interesting connection. Must've been freaky to see him pop up on Leno.
