Damn John… nice write up… you are a Renaissance man!

TBH… the only thing that seems incongruous is your posts stating the amount of alcohol you consume… then I saw the music and band background in your write up.

Ohhhh … hahaha.

Congratulations on a wonderful overview of you. I learned a lot. Another Rapamycin.news rock star.

In the 1970s I was a drummer in a Punk and Heavy Metal band in Birmingham.

For the non-UK members, the ‘Midlands’ was a hotbed of Metal. Black Sabbath, Judas Priest etc. Ozzy’s curious accent was a good example of a ‘Brummie’.

I don’t really have any band photos from the 70s or 80s. I stopped playing in a band in 1982 and didn’t start again until the 2000s.

There are various videos, however
