I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-


It's a stretch, but I can see an astronomy angle there somewhere.

And for today's little touch of irony... His father was a dentist. If you dont see the irony in this. Find a picture of him smiling.

Well, there's that too

this is all my fault...

Why is that?

His father was a dentist. If you dont see the irony in this. Find a picture of him smiling.

Or watch an interview. I have several on DVD. He has a habit of holding a hand in front of his mouth. It's like a pattern: puff of cigarette, sip of beer, hand covering overbite

My "new" avatar is of my Son...the fourth greatest singer of all time.
Looks like he's goin for the Max Cavalera (Sepultura, Soul Fly) look. At least, that's who the picture reminds me of.

Saw Max at Ozzfest ('01? '02? I don't remember). They were on the "second stage" so up-close and personal. Really heavy stuff. Fun.

Sounds about right. I've been out of that scene for some years now, hard to keep your "teen angst" when you're not a teen

I would guess that the fact that you don't know what is "up" with his hair is half the motivation for that hair style.
