that's interesting reading MJ. The picture resembles Patrick Simmons from the Doobies.

That picture reminds me of half of my high school graduation class  .   Great story mj

Thanks for the nice words guys.  He's definitely an interesting man.  He still looks pretty much the same, except the red locks and beard are now mostly grey, but his spirit has remained unsullied by the years.


Cobra, I've seen the documentary you mentioned, it's very well done.  Dale is one of the former members interviewed in the film.

On a side note Cobra, I've read through all your posts since you changed your av (at least I think I have) and have seen no mention of it, is that you?

Yes, that's me at 25 in 1986, wearing a True Confessions Tour shirt.  My wife went through a bunch of photo albums the other day and found pictures that I'd forgotten about. 
I was really hoping to find the picture I have with me and Springsteen, taken when I was 22.  I don't want to tell the story of how it happened until I can post that picture with the story.
