I see Robyn Hitchcock along with The Minus 5 at Slim’s in San Francisco. Peter Buck is playing not four feet from me throughout the gig and never once makes eye contact. After the show I grab one of Robyn’s setlists and go over to the merchandise table, where Peter is signing stuff with Robyn and Scott McCaughey. Scott’s nice enough to ask me how I’m doing and graciously takes the setlist and signs it. He tries to hand it to Peter, but Peter blows him off while signing a CD for someone. Scott hands the paper to Robyn, who signs it happily enough. Finally Peter takes it and scribbles his signature, without even looking at me.
