And I was in a one-off Jesus Lizard coverband.

I went to Newtown High School. I did a record with Thom Monahan. I have dicked around with both musical instrument inclined Robertos. At least 75% of my record collection is from Trash. I was supposed to go to Craig Colorusso's wedding, but my in-laws plane was late and I missed the whole thing.
Who are you?

26first band i was ever in -- we were 14, played only in the garage. mostly covered doors songs (cause we had a keyboard). also played the shit outta arthur brown's first album (not just "fire") and "in-a-gadda-da-vida"
next band -- huey lewis & the news, "i want a new drug" (super fast & herkyjerky); devo, "mongoloid"
next band -- rolling stones, "gimme shelter"; the cars "just what i needed"; 2 bars of reo speedwagon's "time for me to fly"
current one-man-band -- donna summer, "hot stuff" i think that's it so far, but i'm thinking about doing a bunch of old soul...

Salut, elisha wiesner! These are two of my favorite songs!
What these Ides of the March sing, "I'm your vehicle baby, I'll take you anywhere you wanna go!" And then the stabs of the horns with the "Love ya!" and the "Need ya!" So good!
Great god in heaven!
And the "Hey, you Bulldogs" by these Beatles! So good too!
Salut!
