Random story from the Road:

I plead the fifth.

What would you be doing if you weren't in Powderburn?

 Probably dead by now.  

My partner in crime for over twenty years. I could tell you bad things about him, I could tell you good things, but mostly, if I’ve done something wrong, it was probably Greg’s idea.

Also, Greg is the most proficient all-around musician in the band. The man does not make mistakes onstage, and because he is also a drummer, he is rather quick to point out when I do. He makes everyone in the band better just by being in the room or on the same stage.

Then, he opens his mouth and tells you that you should have listened to him two months ago, because he was right back then. . . no matter what we’re talking about or even if he had an opinion back then. That’s when you start weighing how long you’d go to jail for hitting him with a hammer. Did I mention that I love this guy?
