My role model! I aspire to have as much fun on stage playing as he always seems to be having.

Ah, stretched out on the living room floor in front of the stereo unit, with headphones on because my mother thought the songs on the Dr. Demento show weren't "nice". "Fishheads" still shows up randomly in my shuffle. And like nickpc above, my favourite was Existential Blues. Tommy 'T-Bone' Stankas!
