About Me

JDL, JJ Fats, lil' JJ Fats the tire slasher was born in NY. He remembers briefly when the subways were covered in beautiful murals that changed daily. After that ended, music was all that was left. (until the cops showed up) He's noticed that people are dancing again, even to rock. He thinks he's a Pan-American and thinks everyone should be too Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1
