Just A Bill's Interests
General
I am into music, from classic rock and country to punk and metal. Music is mankind's expression of a particular feeling at a particular time. I like motorcycles, airplanes and cars. I love to travel. I enjoy 12 hours with nothing to do- a full tank of gas in the Harley- and warm roads with no traffic. I have always beat on the drums... I have (currently) 43 Tattoos; my favorite is my next one...I love spending any time with my wife, Shannon. Morning, noon or night, she truly is my favorite person.
I enjoy reading (these days, things that take my mind off of the reality of my surroundings), and am fascinated by the American Legal System.
I'm UNEMPLOYABLE.

Music
I all started with Detroit rockers, Kiss. from there, transition to Molly Hatchet, Quiet Riot and all of the hair bands, then the new wave movement into Punk rock. I listen to Dr. Know, Black Flag, FEAR, DRI, Pennywise, Sloppy Seconds, Lagwagon, NOFX, Circle Jerks, Bad Religion, Bouncing Souls (cool fellas... they put us up years ago), Murphys Law, Agnostic Front, Biohazard, Cro Mags, Sick Of It All: You know, all the 20 year old punk/core/crossover bands... also, the masters, Iron Maiden... Metallica pre 1992, Halen, Priest, Slayer. This is not a comprehensive list by any means (I might be spotted singing along to the Boot Scoot Boogie after midnight) . On the local front (if you do not support your local scene, you will suffer a horrible demise) I still listen to local tunes long gone (perhaps they will come back?) AT WAR, Dead Aim, Grog, Hate Parade, Over The Top etc. I have played with: Buzzard, Hate Parade, Bare Nuckols, The Swingin' Dictas,and currently, Patriot, Past Out, and Rapture City Blackhands.
Movies
I am a sucker for the underdog stories. I have an exhausted copy of the Rocky series, Karate Kid, Rudy, Mr Holland's Opus (I was a government teacher in my former life), and a full collection of lawyer and businessman type movies. I also like to laugh, so if it was funny in the last 25 years, I probably have added it to my video collection.
Television
Hard to pay attention with all of the damn commercials. I hate the news; too depressing. I do watch CNBC, Jim Kramer is the man.
Books
I have read my share. From the classics to the curiosity curing, Books have been a major part of my life. Informative tomes are great, but I prefer writings that encourage and motivate.
Heroes
Anyone who defines his success by what he had to overcome in order to achieve it. Anyone who dreams beyond the typical bullshit daily grind. Anyone who will stand with friends and family through hard times as well as good.
About me: Born in Danville, VA, Raised in the Hampton Roads area of VA, been through the ringer in Carbondale, IL and returned home to get hitched, work, eat, drink and be merry. I like to play drums, ride motorcycles, fly airplanes and hang out with Shannon. Everything else is details.
