made up this big hoopla story that I didn't even know what it was, I didn't even bother to read it. All I know is that my face came up in the National Enquirer. They came out and interviewed us. That was the only time the band ever made it big, when that son of a bitch decided to kill all those people in Luby's Cafeteria. Is that crazy or what? They came out and interviewed Julie and James, and they weren't even together anymore. Then they interviewed Blake, John, the bass player and then they came out and they interviewed me. I had every kind of reporter coming out and finding me where I lived, these complete strangers and asking me all about this. One woman in particular came in and introduced herself, she said "You're the one that knows George Hennard?" I said, "Yes, I do." She gets on the phone and calls and says, "I'm at the house of the ex-lover of the guy that killed all those people at Luby's." I took that phone out of her hand and hung it up and basically escorted her out. I swear to God, they bugged us for the longest time. Everybody who knew the band or was a band member got questioned to death. It almost broke up our friendship. When were brought together under these circumstances, the energy was just weird as shit.

Is anyone else from the band in any other bands these days?
No, actually, I haven't heard from Blake and James turned out to be smoking crack and I haven't heard from John. Ever since that happened, we just don't get together anymore. But I had reporters out the goo-goo out here asking all sorts of questions, and I can't believe Julie sold that picture to the National Enquirer. That pissed me off to no end. But we knew he was crazy from the get-go and when the reporters came out we told them the same thing I'm telling you right now. There was something wrong with him from the get-go, because of the way he acted, his philosophy on women in particular. That's why he did the killing in Bell County. Here's something that happened before he came to Texas -- he had a merchant's license and he had ggotten popped with weed and he lost his merchant's license and ever since then he's been going downhill. He lived up north and he brought his mom down to live in Texas so that he could take care of her. Ever since then, he'd been going downhill, he had really bad luck with women, this, that and the other and when we found out he'd killed all those people in Bell County we found out he -- he blamed it on Bell County. [Hennard yelled "This is what Bell County has done to me!" before opening fire.] He said they ruined his life. And I think there was a woman involved who had left him and he just snapped, went crazy and killed all those people.

Did you know he had guns?
Yeah, there were times I'd gone over to his house after band practice and we'd get high and hand out and talk, and when I talked to him he was so negative. He was not a happy man at all. He was a real jerk. A
