Lord Knight of True Rockage:

1.) What do you believe True Rockage to be?
True Rockage is the capacity to rock with supreme love while chaos and the wreckage of petty minds attempt to pull you down into normalcy and despair.

2.) When the Bards sing of your heroic deeds for True Rockage, what is the title of your epic musical saga?
  The title of my musical saga and time on earth is “Fun is fundamental without da mental!”

3.) How many of Those Who Rock Falsely have you vanquished?
My big white equipment van, Quish, has traveled many miles, and behind us we have left a trail,  gig after gig, of the previously skeptical and grumpy that have had the wet wool of false rock blasted from their ears, eyes, and hearts —  and while we have been generally too loud, and maybe not gotten really great mileage, we’ve looked really GOOD doing it.

4.) Have you ever met Blog?  If so, how majestic and awesome was he?
I have known Blog since he was a child, when he was throwing off sparks and setting small fires with his intensity — HERE - I recognized, was the potential of TRUE ROCKAGE!  Blog was naturally cooler than cool, innately hipper than hip, and as serious about truly LEARNING his craft as anyone has ever been.  Blog was unafraid to let his face and body reflect what he felt in his music.  He was willing to be LOUD and willing to be soft.  Blog allowed the full force of TRUE ROCKAGE to flow unobstructed thru his body, his mind, his spirit.   Many a time I have heard Blog as awesome and majestic as it is possible to be - and barefoot to boot!

5.) In your lofty status in the ranks of True Rockage, do you have any wisdom to impart on the lowly and humble ranks that aspire to your greatness?
It is important that you search to find as much value in your mistakes as in the times that you perform “perfectly.”

It is important that you learn to enjoy and capitalize on your “mistakes” -- as open windows into the infinite, and evidence that you are ALIVE!

By doing this, you will also learn to relax and manage chaos,  instead of having chaos manage YOU.

And the ultimate prize is that you will enjoy yourself no matter what.

  This is the KEY that I offer to you who aspire to TRUE ROCKAGE.
