About Me

My name is Mark, I celebrated my 52st b-day in September. Im a big fan of James Dean, having 3 rooms of memorbillia of Jimmy and 50's nostalgia. I work for Daddy-O's in Marion,IN. And am a pretty hep-cat with a bichin' 1950 Chevy Styline Deluxe (black with a lot of chrome). I, along with Rockin' Ruby are charter members in the "Born in the Wrong Era" club. The clothes, cars and music was just so much cooler 50 years ago. "I don't just visit the 1950s, I live there!" If you have ever visited the hometown of James Dean, you will know what I am talking about. It is like walking back in time, back to 1956. James Dean influenced me so profoundly at the tender age of 13, that after seeing "East of Eden" on TV on a rainy Sunday afternoon, my life was never the same after that. I was changed forever. I hope that I never recover. Rockabilly Music is a passion of mine. I'd rather hear Carl Perkins or Roy Orbison than anyone on the charts today. Spend an evening listening to Johnny Cash and then tell me that you did not have a life changing experience.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

James Dean, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, Elvis, Johnny Burnette, Johnny Cash, Everyone I want to meet is dead.

New Years Day

Againist my better judgement or the fact that I am a sucker, My friend Gypsy called up and asked me to go to Indy with him to see a Rockabilly show. When he told me that "Mandy Marie" and "Bigger than...
