Jesse Bernstein was a notable figure at poetry venues in Seattle in the 1980's and often appeared with bands playing at the time in shows about town. He was known for his grating style and antics such as waving a pistol at the audience. He wrote the poem ""More Noise Please"" and recorded on Sub-Pop records, opening for bands such as Big Black, Soundgarden, U-Men and Nirvana. He took his life in 1991 and will be fondly remembered.
