Fabulist!

Mark Oliver Everett ("E") of The Eels has written a memoir. A friend of mine told me an anecdote he overhead on the radio, that I can't track down again: that when E was a kid, he woke up one morning to see dead bodies landing in his backyard. A plane had exploded above his house, and bodies literally rained down behind his house. Combined with E having a famous quantum physicist for a father and a penchant for music, I'm curious about the man's story. You can pick up Things The Grandchildren Should Know here.
