About Me

"On a personal level, Freaking Out is a process whereby an individual casts off outmoded and restricting standards of thinking, dress, and social etiquette in order to express creatively his relationship to his immediate environment and the social structure as a whole." -Frank Zappa*** . . What's up my name is Jon. I've been living for 24 years on this planet, mostly between the coast of maine and the coast of california, with a mix of sporadic intercontinental travel thrown in over the years & months. I play drums for the Sixty Eights. I am at home on bleak starrynight mountaintops and writhing moshpits... sometimes fighting for your life is the only way to feel alive. I love to rock out to loud music and make fat beats with drumsticks. I am neither here nor there. I am jim morrison.

My Interests

Friends thought him foolish and felt free to fre- quently tell him so. Deep down they all felt envy. Envious that he could muster, where they could not, the courage that was necessary to embark beyond the notion that survival was based upon the ability to rise at seven a.m. five days a week. --LES CLAYPOOL--
