It is my homage to the Eels. E went on tour once with an organ with the word "Sexy Grandpa" in sparkly gold letters on the side of it. I say the Eels should be allowed to wreak havoc on the pop world, as they do very well at it. Get the EELS Dvd when it comes out.
I caught a sneak at their show and there's this part of it where E is a total motherfucker about Aliah dying (I don't blame him). But it's really funny. He says "Oh yeah, I think her death was more meaningful than Kurt Cobain's, Jimi Hendrix's, and John Lennon's combined. We were scheduled to do a duet, and y'know, now we can't cause she dies in a flaming explosinve plane crash."
