Fiery Furnace Friedberger's Follies

The roommate and I took a chance and went to see experimental rockers The Fiery Furnaces last night. Eleanor Friedberger was a delight, but her brother Matthew stole the show with two gems, the first uttered several times during the mic check and the second said at the concert's conclusion:
"A porcupine poses a prickly problem."

"You guys are better than Cleveland! You guys are tough! I like you guys - especially this guy right here chewing gum. What kind of gum is that? ...You're awesome, man, you kept the flavor the whole fucking show!"

Totally unrelated, I found this campus tale and this rant amusing; cvj, as always, delivers excellence.
