| Introduction | An escapee from Organized Religion, father of four, husband of a patient woman, I am fortunate to enjoy the most peculiar and best family on earth, and have had a lot more fun as a baseball fan since 2004, as I am a dorky, card-carrying member of Red Sox Nation. I still treasure the moment of joy when "There's a ground ball stabbed by Foulke. He has it. He underhands to first, and the Boston Red Sox are the World Champions. For the first time in 86 years, the Red Sox are baseball's World Champions!" (Thank you, Joe Castiglione!) I believe that should there ever be a need to expand Mount Rushmore into a quintet of heroes, Big Papi would be an excellent candidate for inclusion. |
| Interests | Baseball, Blues (I am a Red Sox fan), Professional Wrestling and Barbeque(I am from Memphis, and yes, that is Boog Powell alongside in the photo, in front of Boog's Barbeque in Camden Yards!), and Baseball, in case I didn't mention that. |
| Favorite Movies | Sunset Blvd., The Fisher King, Terry Gilliam entirely (but especially Brazil) and Jim Jarmusch generally (Dead Man in particular), and the Christopher Nolan Batman movies are pretty darned good |
| Favorite Music | James Luther Dickinson, Mud Boy and the Neutrons, North Mississippi Allstars, Furry Lewis, Bukka White, Mose Vinson, DiAnne Price, Jim Spake, Tom Lonardo and Tim Goodwin, and most of Memphis' other spectacular musicians and I will drive any distance or pay any price to see Dylan or Willie Nelson |
| Favorite Books | Any and all of Simon Winchester's weird and wonderful histories, The Great Awakening by Jim Wallis, Red Sox Rule by Michael Holley and anything by Greil Marcus or about Bob Dylan |
