Jayson James of "Romeo's Dead" thinks he invented cool sometimes and I've told him he's wrong about that and all yet he refuses to believe me which makes him a cool azz mofo too because "true cool knows no competition" as he would say...LOL...whatever...nice hair...  |

But yeah, he's a bit angry, and with good reason. He is one of the greatest bassist/singer/songwriters to have ever lived, yet despite that, he has faced lots of discrimination. Discrimination because he's black and plays rock and roll, discrimination because he's gay and plays rock and roll, discrimination because he's 55 and plays rock and roll. So yeah, he has every right to be mad. But through it all, he's managed to perservere, and while King's X never took their rightful place as one of the all-time greatest-selling rock bands, he gets through it because of the fanatical devotion of King's X fans and undying respect from his peers.
Anyway, sorry to preach, but there's a lot more to Doug than just looking angry. He's truly one of the most wonderful people ever put on this planet, and I will always be grateful he took the time to write me and make me feel better about my own life, and when he's got so much to be bitter about, he still takes the time to be a nice guy.
