Many people think it’s about rebelling but for me it’s about expressing yourself. Much of the world is about conforming which usually leads to conservatism, which is fine for most people. But, when you are an artist you have to think outside those boxes, in other words “rock the boat” which is what being a “rocker” is really about.

SEX, DRUG AND ROCK’N’ROLL...

I’ve done them all!! For me, I fell in love with rock n roll at age 11, long before I had sex or took any drugs which is what I had to remember when I was cleaning my life up at age 25. Sex is like shaving…once you start you never stop!

I don’t recommend drugs as they make you think you are someone other than the who you are meant to be. Real creativity is being in the moment, not escaping from it. Be who you are, be the best you can be and go for life will all gusto.

I’ve learned that all of us originate from our Creator, whoever that is to you. I’ve found that being in touch with that source is the only thing that really matters. People come and go, jobs come and go and life comes and goes. What we do with what we’ve been given is the most important thing I think any of us can ever tap into to be really satisfied with our existence on the planet.

Rockers life to me is definately a life style.

To be a rocker and really feel like a rocker, I gotta practice with my band several hours a week to make sure I can rock the house on the weekends. I gotta look a certain way and expect to be looked at 24...7 and especially after I play a show and show up at a waffle house or restaurant at 3am after my gig in my beat up cowboy hat, my jewelry and painted bell bottoms, long hair and my rock n roll state of mind after I just experienced the best drug of my life (a sold out gig and being on a stage playin my music)You live for that moment of strutting around and entertaining. Rock n roll life style is still playing even if you are sick and realizing that moment of playing is like some secret medicene that just made you feel better.

You gotta walk the walk and talk the talk to live the rock n roll life style... I love that life style..as far as sex ..drugs and rock n roll. Well my days of the drugs have stopped as far as sex, yes I'm pretty horny and in the mood for some wild and crazy sex after a show for some reason, I think its from being on stage and those beautiful ladies acting like they would love to bang the dog outta you... and yess on the rock n roll and more rock n roll. The drugs do tend to go with the terratory, especially in the early days of the life style. Later I realized the music itself was better than the drug... I have a lot of things that are importantin my life, but for this rocker I realize to stay alive and be who I am I gotta play music and write music almost every day. I will never stop performing and doing music, its my medicene and mental therapy. Its a part of me being me and without it I'm a pretty mad person. ...I have had times that I thought oh I will never make the big time and get rich, I will just qui.. But after not playin for a few weeks I realized its not about being a rich rock star, its about just playin the music and that peace of mind that goes with it.

Freedom to be who you want to be without following mainstream society's rules.

Sex and RnR in excess and drugs in moderation. Bring it.

Integrity. Without it, you're nothing.

Being different, rebelling against the injustice of paid slavery, this in turn makes you a bad boy, so I may as well behave like one! Playing live and loud is also my biggest vice (addiction), the buzz is huge!! You are your own boss too, no one can tell me what to do, I’m too loud so I cant hear them!!

SEX, DRUG AND ROCK’N’ROLL... Lots and lots and lots `n` lots!!!!! We are bad boys!!

My freedom from societies chains!! I’ll fight tooth and nail to keep my freedom!! So far I’ve done this for 27 years!! This freedom is freedom to play Rock `n` Roll and to live life MY WAY!!

Skeeter  (Thunderbrew)

Poor, beat down, fast pace, dizzy roller coaster that never ends. But somehow it’s keeps us happy and sane and we can’t seem to stop…..I hope that made sense.

SEX, DRUG AND ROCK'N'ROLL.. Bring it on!

The most important… My wife and family. Secondly my music, guitar and the beer I have in my hand.
