I think one of the Rolling Stone articles mentioned that Dave played hockey and football in high school. I did like reading about hockey from his perspective. I remember both that article and the page it came from.

The inmate cartoon is from the 1993 end of the year Rolling Stone issue, where Dave and Dan were interviewed.

Can anyone figure out how to use the Wayback Machine to get to Al Wirtes's page? He had a segment about "the thing around Karl's neck," and I'd love to see that page again.

Dells and I were just discussing the same thing a little bit earlier today. The page you are referring to is linked under Karl's bio in the "Band Members Etc." category. A blurb about "the thing" and a link points to Al's site at the bottom of that page.

I'm not able to access the page right now (sometimes certain sites will be unavailable for a while when using the Wayback Machine). If you can get it to work it should be one more page click after the following link (just click on Karl's bio; I believe Karl's page describing "the thing" was light blue should you run across a page like that).

The closest link I can access to the location is the main page at the moment (although other links do currently work on the site).

A few things that this page mentioned that the thing around his neck was a ring and/or a nut from the truck that Karl sold; though Al's page went into greater depth about the ring if I remember correctly.

Here's the page I was referring to earlier. This one is an exact link; but it's not Al Wirtes's page which had more information on about it.

Apparently I was wrong about the page color; Dan's was the one sorta light blue. :roll:
