NP-Tell me this doesn't read like a story written by DeLillo

“I never saw Joe angry about anything,” said Billy
Eli<http://www.billyeli.com/>,
a honkytonk bandleader who played with Mr. Stack for about three years. “He
was just a middle-of-the-road kind of dude.”

Mr. Stack also assailed big business, politicians and tax policies that
limited the entrepreneurial prospects of computer software engineers.

On arrival in this growing capital city, best known for its music scene, its
technology booms and the tension between the two, Mr. Stack fit a certain
local stereotype, the musician-technophile crossover. At home he hunkered in
front of a computer with two screens, relatives said, and at gigs he mingled
without much visible anxiety.

Mr. Stack married the former Sheryl Housh, a divorced piano instructor who
had once spent four years with The Way International, widely regarded as a
religious cult.

Together they lived in a two-story red brick house in North Austin, making
little impression on neighbors.

“His name never came up,” said Jack Lillis, an airport attendant. “He’s one
of many who rent hangar space here.”

He told few besides his wife of a simmering anger for which, he wrote,
“there isn’t enough therapy in the world.”
