Rock and roll...what else is there,really?

About Me

Im a 39 year old male musician from London Ontario Canada and am fortunate enough to make a living playing music. I tour over 250 days a year with my band The Joys -www.thejoys.ca- and formerly with Canadian rock legends Helix (1996-2004). I endorse Sabian Cymbals, Wells Custom Drums and G-Sus Clothing. I also just added Los Cabos Drumsticks and MacEachern Drum's "Cool Claws" to the list of great products I endorse (both Canadian!)My life has been a good one (so far!) and I have been fortunate enough to meet some cool people and have some great experiences along the way also...

My Interests

I am an avid reader of biographies and entertainment related books. I also enjoy the occasional "historical" biography (ie: JFK) or anything showing another way of life (the McCourt brother's books...Angela's Ashes, A Monk Swimming etc.)Im also a big fan of good movies...I realise this is subjective to taste, but I usually seem to prefer movies that arent Hollywood blockbusters. That said, I also enjoy the occasional big hit flick. It may be better to list a top 5 to show you what I mean (Man, I sound like John Cusack in Hi-Fidelity!)1. Almost Famous 2. Magnolia 3. Buffalo 66 4. L.A. Confidential 5. Spinal Tap 6. Euro-Porn (just kidding...actually, no Im not!)Im also very into the net and chatting, though I am not nearly as computer literate as I should be...

I'd like to meet:

I am not opposed to making new friends.

Music:

"There are two kinds of music...good and bad." Keith Richards-This pretty much sums it up for me... a good song is a good song, no matter who it is by. I tend to lean towards "classic rock" in my prefered listening, but occasionally a newer band (ie: Jet, or even kinda new bands like Weezer) will come along and grab me by the balls. And I LOVE a good POP song too...who can resist, say, "Hey Ya" By OutKast? C'mon, you would have to be a deaf White Supremicist to not like that!,

Movies:

Television:

Gene Simmons' Family Jewels Rescue Me Ali G Trailer Park Boys

Heroes:

Well, I have to divide this into two categories, as my musical heroes are not always the same as my life heroes. Musically, it would be Keith Richards, as he IS rock and roll...people will flinch at this, saying he is a dinosaur, drug addict etc. FINE...but he is also, in my opinion, the last bastion of TRUE rock and roll life; not just as lifestyle or a music, but as a passion...and an unfiltered, flat-out, devoted musician. As a person, I respect...hmm...my Mom. God love her, she has been through so much and is a true champion of the human spirit. (I know I sound like a total pussy, but its true)
