FP, I saw that interview on Tom Snyder's show and wholeheartedly agree. In knowing and doing some open mic nights w/Stephen years ago I knew him as a very delicate, brilliant artist. Deeply insecure unless within the cocoon of his playing. Tom Synder was snarky, condescending and impatient w/Stephen. Never really gave him a chance to unwind. So, Stephen shut down, clammed up and couldn't play very well. By the same token Paul Reubens(Pee-Wee Herman)went on and deep-fried Tom in his own juices. THAT was great TV.
