Good on him and them but did anyone really have to say it?  Aint it just plain obvious? He is Mike Watt!  :P


[edit] A bass playing mate of mine (who I have a lot of respect for) made me laugh the other day when he said to me; "Who impresses you more, Mike Watt or Bass player magazine?"

---Dont mind me, a bit of tongue in cheek and I'm just a bit cynical about awards.
