Jonathan Stovall Only Band

With a face only a motherfucker could love

About Me

This band evolved out of my frequent dislike and inability to comply with the demands of others in the musical world(That and the people I like dealing with musically are usually busy or simply not nearby, but if this could change, that would be great). Actually the name was just one a friend of mine suggested a few years ago that has always stuck to the wall of my head. I started out deciding to learn guitar when I was about 14 and that was about 8 years ago or so. I didn't really make any music for a few years although I was always coming up with songs in my head, with no way to accompany them. I was always jamming out too. My musicmaking started pretty much by accident one day. I wrote and recorded a song with computer microphone called There Goes That Waste of Time, ha, I still wish I had the original cut of it for comic value, but unfortunately that was like 12 computer crashes ago. Then I did a bunch of other stuff and it eventually became these musical atrocities. I thankfully rest assured knowing that these atrocities will go unnoticed as there are so many cruel warlords and despots left to take the heat.
Here's a quote, I like this quote. It's pretentious and French. "The modern intellectual is a Romantic soul that imagines himself to be the greatest Iconoclast in history"-Rene Girard in Violence and the Sacred
Question: Doesn't it seem like too many people try to copy Matt Damon's rant during the NSA interview in Good Will Hunting?
I saw this on an Indy Wrestler's profile and it brought a tear to my eye. I love old school 90's wrestling and this brought back some good times.
