My background is basically scientific math. My Dad was a physicist so I have it in my blood somewhere. Scientific method is very important to me. I think anything that contradicts it is probably not true.

I have one brother John an airline pilot who is seven years younger. He's adopted though we're still blood related - he's my cousin. My parents couldn't have any more children after me so when Dad's brother died they adopted John then just a baby.

My mother told me Homer Ditto was not my father. Nope. Mom had had a fling with some other guy who was my dad. Some dude who didn't stick around too long who Mom was happy to get rid of. She chose Homer and Homer chose me so he lent me his name even though I didn't have his blood.

I'm not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant.

But the love of adventure was in father's blood.

Lying at the root of the social agreements of 1980 are the courage sense of responsibility and the solidarity of the working people. Both sides have then recognized that an accord must be reached if bloodshed is to be prevented.

Let a new earth rise. Let another world be born. Let a bloody peace be written in the sky. Let a second generation full of courage issue forth let a people loving freedom come to growth.

It is courage courage courage that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor. Live bravely and present a brave front to adversity.

Playing and singing at the same time is pretty cool but sometimes it's difficult to know when you can just really let go a bit because you've got to get back to bloody microphone and sing some stuff.
