Add to My Profile |I was born in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Population 30,000. The city where America goes to party. We lived in Belpre, Ohio for a while then moved back to Parkersburg. There was a recent movie set in the area called "Bubble" and most of the cast are locals with no acting experience. Check it out if you want to taste the flava of the BURG. A bit tangy with a hint of mullet and a pinch of rat tail. Just kidding. We are a proud people and Hank Williams Jr. says we can survive. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. I lived in Parkersburg until I was eleven. You sure have a purty mouth.Like 55% of the rest of my generation, my parents split up and remarried other people. I spent the rest of my childhood in a state of perpetual culture shock moving from San Francisco to Santa Monica to Detroit and finally...Nashville. I attended four high schools during that time. I finished high school in Nashville and got a Dean's scholarship to attend Belmont University. The scholarship was based on academics...for some reason they didn't want to take a chance on a 6'4 center in college basketball. Crazy, right? Bring it Shaq! Come on ya googly-eyed bastaaad!As with most of the women in my life, it turned out Belmont was too small for me (Watchout na!) and I applied to some larger schools...namely Texas and Texas A&M. I moved to Houston and worked for a semester while I waited. The Texas letter came first and so off I went to school at the University of Texas in Austin. That was when I wrote my book and did the book tour thing. My twenties were awesome; they started with me traveling with Johnnie Johnson and writing his biography and ended with Johnnie Johnson getting in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before he passed away. Mission accomplished. Moved back to Houston. Got engaged to a wonderful woman. Moved to Sacramento. Moved to Philadelphia. Moved back to Houston. Got married to that same wonderful woman. Bought a house. Adopted two little dogs. Applied to Drunken Irish Cage Fighter College. Became a Drunken Irish Cage Fighter.
