PROFILE: The meanest, orneriest, blood-spitting, throat-slitting, ear-splitting, guitar-picking screamer in the entire world. A man who has slaughtered more animals than Buffalo Bill and Davey Crockett ever saw. A man who has broken more eardrums than any twenty rock 'n' roll groups combined. Don't let that grin fool you.. .He's an all-out nasty person!

BEER: Boy Howdy!
