@ Ohighyo and Riff,
I met Joan back in 1977, I was a Runaways fan from the beginning. They all lived around here ( LA ) and played
a lot of local gigs, I was at every one so we all got to be friends.
Her bass player in the original line up of the Blackhearts, Gary Ryan, was my boyfriend in 1978. He was in her
band for 6 years.
Don't want to run too far off topic here so:
BOOTS: Wesco Boss, standard 11 inch, 100 vibram soles. -
Blackfrostt- Pappadeaux, Freebird's and the Texans? Dude, I didn't know you had a Houston crush.

^ I live south of Houston (Angleton,TX) Born and raised in The Great State Of Texas, lol…

These are the ones that made the greatest influence on me. Not necessarily my favorites, but the ones that had the most impact.
MUSIC: "Purple Rain" by Prince, "Pretty Hate Machine" by Nine Inch Nails, "101" by Depeche Mode.
Each one made me reevaluate what music could (or should) be.
FILM: Star Wars.
To this day, every time the house light go out and I hear those opening notes of a Fox movie, somewhere deep in the back of my head the voice of a 7 year old boy whispers, "Star Wars!" Every. Single. F-ing. Time. What's more magical than that?
BOOK: "The Sword Of Shannara" by Terry Brooks.
The first book that my dad and I both read and talked about.
CLOTHING: I am a jeans and tee shirt guy. Always have been, always will be.
SPORT: The most pure sport in human history; the most egalitarian, least complicated sport possible. No equipment necessary and damn near every person who has ever lived has done it- running. What's more simple and more perfect than pointing at something and saying to your buddy, "race ya?"
FOOD: Never been that important to me, and if there was a pill that gave me everything I needed nutritionally, I could go days without eating. That said, I eat way more than I should, partly out of boredom.
DRINK: Bubble tea. (that one's just for Giles. )
RELATIONSHIP: Katie- my senior year of college. Generally speaking the worst, most unhappy relationship of my life. Mary Grace- my first year of grad school. A very, very bad year of school ended with getting blindside dumped. The most painful lessons are usually the ones best learned. Without those two, I never would have been ready for Julie…
FAMILY: I have a pretty standard assortment- wife, son, daughter, mother, father, sister, brother, nephews, etc., etc., but no one fills as much space and causes joy and sorrow in greater amounts than my son Benjamin.
