I am influenced by alcohol at times....BUT SERIOUSLY FOLKS!
I think I'm influenced by every person that comes into my life. No matter how short that time may be. The day I realized not everybody in the world likes me was a bit tramatizing at first but then I started to appreciate it. You're nobody 'til somebody hate you! Isn't that a Dean Martin song? Which is why I cherish my friends and/or the people who put up with me.
As far as other influences go, I was inspired to drum by Buddy Rich, John Bonham, Alex Van Halen, Tommy Lee, Rikki Rockett and Neal Peart. Although I put them in two different catagories....
Drummers that inspire me to play...John Bonham, Tommy Lee and Rikki Rockett.
Drummers that inspire me to quit...Neal Peart and Buddy Rich! Heck, Buddy is a better drummer dead then 75% of the drummers out there TODAY!
My radio influence came from WKRP In Cincinatti. I always wanted to be Dr. Johny Fever. But the radio business portrayed on WKRP is not even close to the way the real workings of a radio station are. So don't go joining the ARMY 'cause you liked M*A*S*H!
Sounds Like
TOM PETTY - "THE LAST DJ"
Well you can't turn him into a company man
You can't turn him into a whore
And the boys upstairs just don't understand anymore
Well the top brass don't like him talking so much
And he won't play what they say to play
And he don't want to change what don't need to change
And there goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
And there goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice
There goes the last DJ
Well some folks say they're gonna hang him so high
Because you just can't do what he did
There's some things you just can't put in the minds of those kids
As we celebrate mediocrity all the boys upstairs want to see
How much you'll pay for what you used to get for free
And there goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
And there goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice
And there goes the last DJ
[Instrumental break]
Well he got him a station down in Mexico
And sometimes it will kinda come in
And I'll bust a move and remember how it was back then
There goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
And there goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice
And there goes the last DJ
