My Interests

Loud guitars and shoes that fit
For all you old-schoolers:
10 Commandments of Rock and Roll
1. Thou shalt be louder then all others
2. Thou shall be more distorted then thy neighbor
3. Thy guitar sound will be dirtier then an old man's diaper
4. Horns shall be used to enhance the rock
5. Horns used will not hinder the roll
6. Rock 'N' Roll supermoves shall be attempted by every band member
7. Thou shall look the part of a Rock star and shall instruct others to follow the path
8. Thine band will never stand still and move like stiffly like gingerbread people
9. Every song shall carry a message
10. Thou shall be louder, more distorted and dirtier then thou was in 1 through 3
