"So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll. I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all. I'm standing by the window where the light is strong. Ah they don't let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song. -Leonard Cohen "

Captain Chuck Bastard aka Greybeard's Interests
General
I cook a bit, roast my own coffee, brew my own beer, refinish old wood furniture, play sax, and play around on guitar, tin whistle, mandolin, etc. I am politically conservative/libertarian, at least where American politics are concerned. ( I am also a supporter of Irish republicanism, Scottish & Welsh nationalism, etc. ) I am generally a stubborn, opinionated, tired/lazy old bastard. I have been called a " music snob " because basically if I don't like it, it's crap. If you have seen Hi Fidelity, the scene where the guy is thrown out of the shop essentially for having bad taste, that would be me throwing him out if it were my record shop. I used to be a Dropkick Murphys street team leader for the Knoxville area, which is how my website, http://www.knoxdkm.com, came about. If you dig deep enough there you'll even find pics of me with DKM members, and with my ex-wife, and some Cutthroat Shamrock pics from shortly after I met them at the Fox & Parrot in Gatlinburg and heard them for the first time. I also have a children's book perpetually in progress, or shelved for the moment. It involves pirates. That's all I am willing to give away, in case some other children's author is reading this and might steal my idea.
Music
http://www.digstation.com/CutthroatShamrock
A partial list of bands I've seen live: Alien Sex Fiend, Nine Inch Nails, The Damned ( Orlando stop on the
" Farewell/Reunion tour " ), The Cure, Skinny Puppy, The Cranberries, Rancid, The Ramones ( CJ era ), Public Image Limited, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Revolting Cocks, Ministry, Primus, Fishbone, Slayer, Megadeth, Boston, Queensryche, Rush, The Beach Boys, Lionel Hampton, Joe Williams, New Order, Fugazi, Potential Frenzy ( local Orlando band ), Jane's Addiction, Depeche Mode, New Order, Dropkick Murphys,Morrissey,The Usuals ( Gainesville ska ), Flogging Molly, Ducky Boys, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Johnny Cash ( when I was very young ), Rollins Band, Pine Hill Haints, Cornbred Blues Band, and of course Cutthroat Shamrock. I'm leaving out a few, including everyone I haven't mentioned from the original Lollapalooza tour Orlando stop and some of the opening bands from other shows.
Cash, Cutthroat Shamrock, Cornbred Blues Band, Kid Rock, Dropkick Murphys, Pogues, Flogging Molly, Hank Sr., Hank Jr., III, and lots more, many of which I'll probably add to this later if I live that long.

Captain Chuck Bastard aka Greybeard is sick of these ads asking if he wants to meet someone " special. " Hell no ! Been there, done that, no intention of doing it again. Unless the Russian girl...
Who I'd like to meet: Nobody. Piss off.
That's my friend, Susanne, on guitar & vocals. Ok, I haven't seen her in years but I still consider her a good friend.
Thank you, Sally Mac ! ( For the pistols video. )
