About Me

What about me?

What about YOU?

I once asked Scotty Moore (Elvis' guitar player) how to play the riff from "Mystery Train". He looked at me and said, in his Southern Drawl "Son, first you rock in E, than you rock in A, you rock on in E and you rock on in A." I said "That's it?" Scotty Said "That's it". Oh yeah.
"Well Stu, I'll tell ya... surfing's not a sport, it's a way of life... it's no hobby. It's a way of looking at that wave and saying 'hey bud, let's party!'"

A bad little kid moved into my neighborhood He won't do nothing right just sitting down and looks so good He don't want to go to school and learn to read and write Just sits around the house and plays the rock and roll music all night Well, he put some tacks on teachers chair Puts some gum in little girl's hair Now, junior, behave yourself

Buys every rock and roll book on the magazine stand Every dime that he get is lost to the jukebox man Well he worries his teacher till at night she's ready to poop From rocking and a-rolling spinning in a hula hoop Well this rock and roll has got to stop Junior's head is hard as rock Now, junior, behave yourself

Going tell your mama you better do what she said Get to the barber shop and get that hair cut off your head Threw the canary and you fed it to the neighbors cat You gave the cocker spaniel a bath in mother's Laundromat Well, mama's head has got to stop Junior's head is hard as rock Now, junior, behave yourself

"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?"According to the "Which Big Lebowski character are you?" quiz:
