mike watt, in my opinion, is a perfect role model for what i want to be.
look at the guy, he has grey hair, his marriage has failed, he "blazes
econo", and he gets up and plays with the sort of fervor and excitement 
that
most twenty-somethings could only dream about...it's like it's his first
gig, every time, and he couldn't be more excited.  he's played with some of
the best out there (nels cline, j mascis, etc.) and he's still totally
humble and appreciative.  he takes the time to say hi and shake your hand
and tell you he appreciates you making it to his show.

he slobers when he sings, he plays the bass like he's trying to kill
it...man, what a total and utter badass.

if i can end up being half the musician watt is, i'll die a happy man.  
long
live mike watt.
