And then it hits me like a kick in the nuts.

About Me

Hey all, I am not really new to this, I am working on a new Bio for the page, I was so sick of the other one, and since I do not fall in to the typical "myspacer" with all the surveys and questionare bullshit, it is really hard to come up with something to put here. I am a fan of "classic" rock music, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rush, The Who, Quiet Riot. I am a fan of actually just about any music. At this point I would have to say that Led Zeppelin and Johnny Cash would be my favorite bands, I feel that LZ were completely ahead of their time and still are, between all the songs they had written, they are not stuck in any particular genre. Well some info about me I guess. I am Mark R. Jackson, and I am a guitarist/vocalist for the band The Confederate Dead (www.myspace.com/theconfederatedead ADD US). I have been playing and helping bands in the Louisville area for about ten years now. I have done some small video editing with adding music to some of them, one is included, the Star Wars edit. I also have been working on a few screen plays. I enjoy art, and I think life imitates it as well, I believe that H.R. Giger is a great artist and one who is definatly underated. Well if there are any other questions, please feel free to message me or whatever, I will answer anything you have to ask. thanks all.

My Interests


lyrics - god's gonna cut yo ...Well, I am a Star Wars mark, you can ask me just about any question and I could probably answer it. I like going to conventions for things, like Star Wars, or Music conventions like South by Southwest (SXSW). I like writing songs and poems and short stories. I like my college and find it interesting. Wow, I am really brain dead on this. To be continued...

I'd like to meet:

Well, I can't really say I want to meet God or Jesus, because, well that is just pretty lame and is over used, I mean seriously, why would you want to meet your "maker" all your life but when you're on your death bed, you sit there and say, "I wish I would've taken more risks in my life..." and then you die, and are having bullshit regrets, you know what, Take that drink, smoke that cigarette, you know what, have that good time. So, now that I have gotten off topic, I think I would like to meet George Lucas, and Page & Plant...and many others as well...
