I'm stickin' it to myself, Jimi Hendrix because I'm white... not on drugs... right-handed... from the opposite end of Seattle, Primus for spirit, Pink Floyd for playing a Strat... now I play a Fender Toronado and I love it, Alice in Chains because they use amps and so do I, One Dog's Opinion because they were the best local south florida band in the '90's.
