Shy? Me?
Name and City, State: Jim S. - Woodland Park, CO (born/raised in
Chicago, IL)
Nickname: Buzz, Sig's, Ayahtolla, Jimmy
Year and city graduated high school: 1984/Chicago
Highest level of education completed: "Christ, ten years of college
down the drain. I might as well join the fucking Peace Corps." - John
Belushi It took a while, but a BA in Communications
Occupation: Software Tester for HP. If your crap doesn't work, don't
come to me!
Year became a Who fan: 1978, the DAY Keith died.
First Who show attended and how many: 1982, 8 times and (hopefully)
counting.
What were you doing when you found out about Keith's
death? Watching Channel 7 Eyewitness News. Sandy Freeman relayed the
story of Keith's death. I was awed by the picture they showed of Keith;
a wild action shot of him crashing down on his cymbals. I immediately
ran upstairs, grabbed up my brother's 8-track of the "Kids" soundtrack
and haven't looked back since.
John's? Staring at an email my friend sent me with disbelief.
Favorite Who Song? A toughie. Too many to choose from. If I had to
pick one, right now it would be any live version (w/Keith) of "Sparks".
Maybe "Young Man Blues" too.
Favorite Album?: Quadrophenia - MY Catcher in the Rye.
Least Favorite Who Song: Hands down - You Better You Bet. I hate that
song. The Who's "Harlem Shuffle" - yuk.
Pete, Keith, Roger, John fan? All of them. It depends on when you ask
me. Probably Keith.
Who is the best kisser? Eh? Gene Simmons?
ass kisser? I'm still waiting for a call from Roger. So far none of
them have ever kissed my ass.
Most raw talent?: Raw talent??? Keith - no contest.
Reason for joining the list? Like AEB, I ask myself that question from
time to time and can't answer.
reason for staying?: The LOVE! There's so much LOVE on this list!!!!
Biggest complaint on the list: See above. Some people just love you
too damn much here. I know it's out of love, but I never really
experienced the amount of insults and personal attacks that occur here,
until I joined the list. I know, it's all out of LOVE!
Who you'd like to see voted off next: Heh-heh...nobody I guess. Nah,
everyone is cool.
Married, divorced or married with a little action on
the side?: Married and oddly, very happily. No nookie on the side. I
couldn't do to someone what I don't want done to me. I hate hypocrites.
Interesting Hobbies: Hiking, camping, skiiing (I DO live in Colorado),
personal recording (another musician here; I play each instrument/sing
on my "demos" that nobody will ever hear), short story writing (I see we
have a shitload of writers here too), drinking German beer, watching the
NHL playoffs.
CNN, Fox, Nickelodeon or History Channel? History Channel. Aside from
watching hockey, I don't watch too much TV. I would watch Second City
TV if someone would show it!
Favorite Who venue? Alpine Valley, Wisconsin (the same venue that
killed Stevie Ray Vaughn).
Any other interesting facts about yourself?: Never been convicted, no
illegitimate children, married only once, no social diseases, minor
addictions, Monty Python/Marx Bros/Stooges fan, been told I look like
Alec Baldwin, Jeff Bridges AND Barney Rubble (nice mix), size 11 1/2
shoes/5'8" height (You know what they say about men with big feet? Big
shoes.), and, I can windmill.
