Great interview and special thanks to MATT SORUM for introducing us to DRIVE-A a great rocking band of young fledglings with some pretty agressive chops; Matt produced two of the songs on the CD and also took some time out to update us on VELVET REVOLVER, CAMP FREDDY,  Drumming for PERRY FARRELL’S brithday party, getting to play with OZZY (a life long dream) and why Guitar Hero is big enough to cause AEROSMITH to go back into the studio to RE-record some of heir all-time classics! Writing a game’s alot more work than we thought. MYLES KENNEDY is mentioned as well, and, why MATT SORRUM prbably won’t be rushing out to buy his tickets for this summer’s G&R tour…

Ah… Life is good!!!

And, finally, If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to fly an airplane to a distant city, by yourself, and make it back, safely.. NOT by F-16 escort, then you should check out my FLYBOY PAGE, as my flight training enters the final stage!

From Flyboy (pt2)

One of the tests is to plan, execute, and fly, a solo journey of 200 miles or more. So I chose the mountains to Western Montana. (piece of cake, huh?) It was AWESOME… a lot of work, but worth the incredible ride! (since age 12) I have been documenting the training for AOPA “PROJECT:PILOT” and there is even an introductory video we designed. Do I have what it takes to pass “the test”??? Soon, we shall find out~ for now; check out THE PICS, THE VIDS, and THE X-C from last week. And if you want learn more about training, you can find the early stages in the original FLYBOY (pt1) album on THEFREEWAY500.COM website…. So CAVU to YOU (Clear Air & VIS Unltd.) …BTW, ground school just started, maybe you should take the demo? See if it doesn’t re-define your definition of true “freedom”.
