About Me

I'm an aging Gen-X, hipster-doofus (God...and whatever happened to being a "twenty-something"?) with terrible knees and a raging case of tinnitus. I can come off like an irksome shit alot of the time...but I'd much rather be hated for being myself, than loved for not being myself. So, if that means I have fewer people who want to identify themselves as being my "friend" so be it!! Besides, I believe in what Churchill said: "You have enemies? GOOD! That means at some point in your life you stood up for something!" I'm a fair musician and can play the bass, guitar, and the didgeridoo plus a little bit of keyboards. I've played in several bands including the once and future legends Weird Thing. Now I prefer to work on recording projects with likes of; 1adam12, Bongo Dave and the Rock and Roll Safari, Tim Menzel, and others. Currently I write and record music under the name DJ Berserk and I am a member of the Drunkees, a Monkees cover band. I tend live by these words or wisdom: "Don't just eat a cheeseburger, eat the shit out of it!" ~~ J.R. "Bob" Dobbs
