    I was flung from my mothers womb in the shadows of the great Frank Lloyd Wright and Ernest Hemingway in Oak Park.


    But was secretly born in Woodstock, NY in the barn and delivered by my Uncle John.

    Looks like I'm the farthest south as of the time being. Springfield-ish is encouraging though. I work in Springfield.

    Where you work?

    The Vic Theatre, 2007.

    I love the way Eddie pauses Trouble after the first verse, saying he feels like he's playing at a disco with all the flashes going off.

    "So, if you've got some cocaine for me to take, then I'll feel a little more at home in a disco but...or, or, maybe we'll just stop with the flashes. Okay?"

    Black Diamond played during the second encore. KISS was my first concert that I ever went to when they played Chicago Stadium in 1977, Uriah Heep opened.
