I've known him as the shiftlessbastard, spitefulmichael Miguel La Bastardo, La Plaga.... We had plans of pimpifyin our towns, getting a harem going, and world domination among others.
He gave me tons of hours of entertainment and I like to think he enjoyed my occasional comebacks.
Quoting ya right back, Michael, Party on dude, and call me if you need bail.
Here's eight things Andy knew about Michael. I never knew about the ghosts.
1. I run a public library right outside of Philadelphia and I love doing it despite all the headaches that come with it. I've always loved libraries and I still can't get over the fact that I actually run the place. The fact that I live across the street from the library and I don't have to travel far or pay for gas or transportation is easy to live with.
2. I've been playing guitar since I was 14, my younger brother got a guitar for Christmas and I got a basketball..........That changed real fast !
3. My family moved from Philadelphia to Lorain, Ohio for 7 years and that's where I went to High School and played in too many local bands to mention, we were good enough to get gigs but it was mostly for the fun of playing in bands (sex, drugs, rock & roll, alcohol & violence) it wasn't till later when I moved back to Philly that I got a bit more serious and started recording with some of my friends that had a small studio.
4. I've been in 8 bad car accidents, shot at twice, electrocuted once, almost fell from a 3rd story ledge on Cleveland Public Auditorium while trying to sneak into a Jethro Tull concert under the influence of LSD and the Cleveland Police throwing their nightsticks at me and my friend trying to pick us off the wall (Could you imagine that on your gravestone?) and a little bout with Congestive Heart Failure.
5. I've taken enough drugs in my life to kill Canada.
6. Never been married but I came close two times to the same woman and then she was killed in Nevada right before we were about to get back together a third time. I'm still looking for the right woman but I can't find one willing to sacrifice her sanity to be with me.
7. I've been lying to my friends and family......they think I quit smoking after the Congestive Heart Failure…… I am going to quit, really, no, really.....no shit, Really !!
8. I have two ghosts that live with me on my 3rd floor, one even sleeps with me and she whispers things in my ear.
