Favorite Movie(s): "Inherit
the Wind," "The Sorrow and the Pity," "Casablanca,"
and recently (and you need to get a gun if you can't afford
a ticket), "What the Bleep Do We Know" and "Valley
of the Super Vixens."
Favorite TV Show(s): Currently,
only a few. "The Shield," "The Planet's Funniest
Animals," "WWE Raw," "C-SPAN" and
just about anything on IFC or Sundance.
Worst TV Shows: Hannity & whats-his-name,
any local TV news show, hell, anything on the Fox Channel
... need an IQ check?
Favorite Bands (In last 10 years):
I saw my first live show in 1956 when I went to El Monte Legion
Stadium to see The Penguins and Don Julian & the Meadowlarks
with my babysitter and her boyfriend. Other than that ...
Public Enemy, NWA, Nirvana, Butthole Surfers, Rocket From
the Crypt, the Lounge Lizards, and, of course, the Fall.
Worst Bands: Any "boy"
or "girl" bands. Offended? Let me tell you, the
biggest female performer of the 1950s was Dinah "See
the USA in Your Chevrolet" Shore. Ask any record collector
what those turds are worth now.

Modern Convenience I Can't Live Without:
A toilet.
Personal Car: Thumb
I've Never Been Able To: Eat and
talk at the same time ... successfully.
I Hope I Never Have To: Act like
an adult.
Best Time of my Life: ANYTIME where
there's loud music, lung-choking smoke, cheap perfume, a modest
criminal element, and good people enjoying a good time ...
other than that ... High Mass at St. Finbar's.
Dumbest Thing I've Ever Done: Got on stage and told
a Division 4 crowd, "Hey, you know we're missing 'Queer
Eye for the Straight Guy' right now."
Best Advice I've Ever Received:
"Kid, lay off the booze, stay in shape, and you'll win
the title."
Worst Advice I've Ever Received:
"You know, since you like the drags so much, why don't
you write about them?" And, of course, a long obnoxious
30-year career ensued.
Advice To Aspiring Young Racing Writers: To quote former
Pro Comp World Champ Dave Settles, "Okay, but take piano
lessons, you might need something to fall back on."
I'm Better Than Anyone At: Boring
my readers.
And with that, have a memorable holiday, chums and chumlettes.
