Everybody's sick of the american ruse!

About Me

I was born in mean old Toledo, Ohio and lived there most of my life except for 2 years in Columbus. I now live in Livermore, California which is about 45 minutes East of SF. I have been an anarchist since 8th grade. I started piano lessons in 3rd grade and was taught how to play snare drum by a nun in 9th grade. I've been in bands since I was 13. Here is a partial list in order as far as I can remember: Necros, The Dangling Abstractions, Greggy and The Dipshits, U.K. Subs(sat in for one song circa 1982) The Misfits(1 soundcheck, 2 full shows including the last ever with Danzig in Detroit, a few cameos ) , Sorcen, McDonalds, Riot 1, The Meatmen, House Full of Drunks, Carnival of Souls, Solid Gold Hell, Shooting Gallery, Foil, Laughing Hyenas, Swaztika Girlz, Autopilot, Overblue, Riot Squad 419 and the Glitch 2000 Band, Streamlined, Jessica Bailiff Band, The Improvisational Ambient Collective, Weeds From A Perfect Garden, Tracer, Stash(cameo), Boogaloosa Prayer, Muschi! The Pendeltons Other than band stuff I skateboard as much as possible, vapo weed, drink beer and keep up on my philosophy and botany when I have the time. I am working on a book about the Necros which will take forever but thats ok... I have been opiate and cocaine free for 8 years and have not incinerated weed for about 5 months, I stopped coughing almost immediately and stopped hacking up black shit. I encourage everyone to put away the lighter and treat your bud with more respect!!!
