    I remember that last 99' gig when Alvin lit himself on fire at the apex of Refugee. Three separate fire crews had to come out to extinguish him and two thirds of the venue. Afterwards he punched a paramedic that was patching him up then he ran down the street yelling about how his taxes were too high. Good times. We'll never see another artist like that again in our lifetime.
