my general interests? being happy and enjoying my life, spending time with my daughter, traveling, making records and performing with the band, and writing books. I also love sports, especially football, but i also love baseball, hockey, and golf. I enjoy going to games or watching them on tv. and I'm addicted to fantasy football! I have other interests as well, but you would have to get to know me better to learn about those things....and then I'd have to kill you.
Music
all types. I'm all about a good melody and a good beat...and amps that go to 11! actually, I like quiet amps. my amps only go to 7. ssshhh...keep it down.
Movies
I love a good movie! "braveheart", "true romance", "once", "love actually", "no country for old men", "pulp fiction", "the big lebowski", "bandits" (did you ever see that one? bruce willis, billy bob and kate blanchet? a very underrated movie), hugh grant, russell crowe, jeff bridges, and clint eastwood productions (he's the man!).
Television
I love watching tv! I tend to keep it on more for the company - background noise - sports mostly, the news, an occassional sitcom or late night program. I'm not into the reality shows at all...too real.
Books
I love to read. when i find an author i like, i will typically read a handful of their books until i get bored and need something different. the author i'm into lately is Christopher Moore. i HIGHLY recommend 'Lamb: the gospel according to Biff, Christ's childhood pal' - one of the funniest, greatest stories ever told, in my opinion. 'You Suck' is also very, very good.
Heroes
everybody is somebody's hero, right? I have lots of heroes. bob, john, jimmy, jimi, dad, dali, da bears, kurt and goldie, braveheart, larry, moe, and curly - just to name a few.

About me:
I am the guitarist for the grammy award winning (very proud of that) rock band TRAIN. We will be releasing our fifth (and best, in my opinion!) CD, titled "Save Me San Francisco," on October 27th, 2009. The first single, "Hey Soul Sister", is currently playing on radio stations everywhere, so please request the song for us! We will tour relentlessly beginning in October. I have also finished writing my first novel titled 'The Guitar on the Wall," but don't have plans to publish until after the Train CD and tour are over. I currently reside in Las Vegas where I have a very beautiful, very smart, eight year-old daughter, and I also have a condo in Chicago where I like to attend sporting events (go Bears!) and hang out in one of my favorite cities in the world. If you're looking for additional info on TRAIN, click HERE on the TRAIN website
Barack Obama, Tony Bennett (i shook his hand once on the red carpet at the Grammy's, but i'd love to sit and have coffee with him!), Christopher Moore, Jimmy Page, Steven Wright, Alice Cooper (I met him once. he actually jammed with Train on a VH1 special, but I'd like to golf with him or something), Clint Eastwood, Tom Hanks (don't ask. for some reason I just like that guy), and Marissa Tomei (of course!).
I'm still smiling from your Philly & NY shows. Incredible! So happy I finally got to meet you, Jimmy, and thrilled that you are back on the road. It was a long wait ... but the boys are back! You guys looked and sounded wonderful on the Today Show.
Jimmy~ I was so inspired by your energy, talent, and good looks at the First Avenue concert! You guys have never sounded better... and you looked like you were having the best time! Your right, Save Me, San Francisco is your best! Stay safe and well on tour!
Thank you for everything...it was the best and by watching you....it looked like you were having a fabulous time! I hope Pat if feeling back to himself. His son was very polite!
Passing through MySpace and thought I'd say hello to you here, Jimmy... rather than the "other" cyber place! Wishing you all well on the tour... hoping everyone is healthy and the weather cooperates from this point on! See you soon in Philly & NYC!!
Mom and I and some friends are going to the be at the Train Concert in Cleavland on Nov. 7th. We cant wait!! Love " Hey Soul Sister"!!! We will see you there!
Thanks for befriending me on Myspace! I'll do my best to get the word out about your show in Houston!!! It's funny.. I worked for President Clinton when "Meet Virginia" came out.. (no, I wasn't an intern but a real staffer)... I thought the lyrics were so funny (to just imagine how many people were "ripping" on him at the time!). Have a safe and racous Halloween and I look forward to the concert November 22nd :)
I saw the post on facebook about the weather where you all are so hope you make it safely to your next destination! I thought maybe the show was cancelled due to Pat not being well. Have a safe & Happy Halloween!
Hope Pat is well soon & all of the shows aren't cancelled! I will cya all in Baltimore next month. LOVE the new cd!!!I even have my 11 year old niece getting into your music. She wants to come and see you too.
