J Mascis, the frontman of Dinosaur Jr. known for his stoic stage presence and intricate guitar solos, has shared personal anecdotes in a recent interview.
Mascis, who also holds a reputation for being a man of few words during interviews, began to open up more towards the end of the discussion. He spoke about his youthful dedication to minigolf. "I had a 3-foot putt for the win" at a minigolf tournament, Mascis recounted.
