I'm formerly a runner on the USA TRACK AND FIELD CIRCUT. I've been running competitively since I was 6 years old. Represented two shoe companies, REEBOK and FILA after high school.
My specialty was the 1500 meter run.
Best performance was 3:49.71.
Ran first sub-four minute mile at the Christmas Classic in San Francisco. My performance THAT day was a stellar 3:58.37!!!!!

.......................................I'd like to play bass on the same stage with Leon Redbone and Dr. John!!!
The ultimate fusion of GLAM, PUNK, AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK. All the elements are there throughout the song. They don't make epic songs like this anymore. From the punk riff that starts it off, continuing through the movements and ultimately ending with smooth alternate timings, this song was truly ahead of it's time.
ENJOY!!!
