HOME: The wind & the highway.

LAST BOOK READ: The Memoirs Of The Marquis De Sade.

LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Making pain & pleasure fun again.

QUOTE: "I would not look tougher in a tutu sitting on a moped!"— Rob Halford

PROFILE: These leather-clad solar angels made their point of entry in the early '70s, but it was 1980 and the release of British Steel that really got the old vice gripping, as they say. The debonair Rob Halford and mates set out to conquer America, making sure it hurts so good in the process.

BEER: Boy Howdy!
