A year or two later when their major label debut <em>Doolittle<\/em> came out they suddenly became huge. I had a friend at the time, Bill Rogers, who was introduced to the Pixies through <em>Doolittle<\/em>, and he loved it.

Bill was not happy with Surfer Rosa. He said it was &#8220;too loosey goosey.&#8221; Bill&#8217;s music taste was broad and deep, and I really respected his opinions on music.
