Where did you hear this? The last I heard, "the shark's private fuck" was
apparently about Nate and in the Oct '98 Raygun interview, Jeremy and Dan
seemed less than enthusiastic about Nate:
<<The group's second, more emotionally taxing problem came to light after the
first few practices: bassist Nate Mendel's ongoing commitment to the Foos.
"'Waiting for Nate' became the theme to our lives," explains Hoerner,
obviously exasperated. "We were waiting for a real person who we so
desperately wanted... but Nate could only do it sometimes. The pressure of
finding something amazing and not being able to do it... it was like and
elastic band pulled back really far, desperate to be let loose."
"In the end." recalls Enigk, "It was us who had to say no because he said,
'Okay, I'll be here then' and wasn't there, and 'Okay then I'll be here
then,' and wasn't there. For us, it became 'let's record the album now!' and
that is exactly what we prepared ourselves to do. Then you look back and your
pride is humbled and you are broken."
Hoerner nods his head furiously in agreement. "Your ego gets the lashing that
it deserves. When you think that you are a part of something so grand that it
couldn't possibly help but attract everyone who should be a part of it and
them someone so clearly says 'not gonna do it...' " he trails off, still
clearly hurt.>>
