“...I could only do the short American leg. I couldn’t do Europe and the rest of the tour. When we got back together for the Thing-Fish album and some things for Them Or Us, Frank said ‘Why don’t you come and do the tour with us?’ And I said, ‘Well I can’t do the whole thing, but I’ll do what I can.’” – Napoleon Murphy Brock, 29 April 2002
