Take It on the Run, Baby.

Posted by Jeffster on May 25, 2010 1:38 PM
Packing up.  Buying cheese-its.  And loading up Loretta, even though she's storing enough supplies for a nuclear meltdown. 

There's only one thing more important than being famous - and that's being INFAMOUS.  All the reports and hysteria are true - Jeffster! rocked out so hard in a true blaze of glory fashion that now we're wanted by the man.  Like Lindsay Lohan.

So we're taking it on the run, baby.  Rocking out as we hide out.  But never from you.  Cause we're hitting the road.  So if anyone has a cot to share, holla out.  Because the van isn't as spacious as it looks - and Jeff is a cuddler.

Rock long, rock hard, rock ON.

Meet Big Mike

Big Mike

Manager

Do you remember the 21st night of September? Well, I do. It was Chicago, 1969. They called me Big Mike for my big vocals and silky smooth dance moves. I wonder why the name stuck? Anyway, back in the day, if you gave me a set of maracas and my jumpsuit, I could blow your mind. "Earth, Wind, Fire and Rain" was the hottest act in town. I was Rain, and it was pouring. I was on top of the world.
