About Me

I believe what the world needs now is love, sweet love. I believe Bill Hicks was a prophet. I believe the Buggles were psychic. I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. I believe Barrabas was framed. I believe one day Rob Clark will win the Masters and then become president. I believe there's absolutely nothing to be afraid of. I believe in three chords and the truth. I believe in The Groove and The One. I believe in the decriminalization of cannabis. I believe drug companies, oil companies, the Southern Baptist Convention, the advertising geniuses on Madison Avenue, the Republican party, Music Row execs, FOX news, and Maury Povich already have given birth to the Antichrist. And I still miss Stevie Ray Vaughan.
