If The Phone Doesn't Ring--It's Me!

About Me

I am a Hollywood rocker. I play bass in Rude Awakening (www.rudeawakening.org) and Alice In Smack (an Alice In Chains/Godsmack Tribute band--www.myspace.com/aliceinsmack). The next shows I am playing with AIS are June 14th at Boscoes in Lake Forest and June 27th at Rude Dogs in Covina. Rude Awakening will be playing July 18th at Venezia in Redondo Beach and at Romano's September 13th. So come on down and support me and the band! I am also a producer and entrepreneur and have started many corporations. One of the companies (Nidus Music Productions-- www.nidusprod.com) produces music for film, television, the internet--anybody who needs content. I also co-founded Pentasystem. My main interests include creating concepts, developing ideas, writing songs, comix (Clean Dirt, Iconoclast Comix), musicals (I wrote the musical "My Boy" based on the book), screenplays and whatever else I can come up with. Touring the world in a band is fun. Holland rules, as does Ireland. Philip Parris Lynott is my hero and Philomena Lynott is my step-mother and the godmother to my son Philip Parris. Legalize hemp!

A Funny Love Poem

~My Love For You~

If I die before you do

I'll go to Heaven and wait for you

And if you're not there on judgement day

I'll know you went the other way

So I'll give an angel back my wings

Golden crown and other things

And to prove my love for you is true

I'll go to hell and burn with you!

And if this didn't make you laugh

Well then fuck you too!!!!
