Dead Flies and Zip Ties

About Me

Daddy Wants Blue Velvet! I main-line the Grievance Committee cuz it's my band! Trying to take 'acting' back to the good ole days when an 'actor' was no better thought of, than a pick- pocket or a petty thief. Think Vaudville Punk Rock Style!

My Interests

Grievance Committee is my band. I play guitar back in the garage. I walk a crooked mile alone. I drink until I puke then I drink somemore. Hang out at the 2500 club in downtown Detroit. Who or what a person fucks, worships or votes for is their own damn beezwax. I like chicks but I love ewe.
