The nostalgic lyrics of this song "Running After You" from my album "Sonic Healing" make me think of my brother Jon, so I dedicated this video to him - special thanks to Kurdt Vanderhoof (Metal Church) for the beautiful music: https://t.co/PiEzQfvR2F

My company sponsors Junior Achievement for Zilwaukee Elementary. We provide volunteer instructors too & I get the Kindergarten class! We talk about making choices, needs vs wants, earning, saving, sharing, etc. It makes me appreciate the hard work teachers do for our children!
My company sponsored the Rescue Ministries Hockey for the Homeless event at the Saginaw Spirit OHL hockey game. We've done it a few times now & my friend Domingo & I were invited to do the National Anthems. Liana came with me, & friends Ed and Ernie. It makes for a fun night!
Bolt had an operation recently, he tore his CCL which they call an ACL in humans. His leg was shaved & the hair was growing back, but we shaved all his hair to match the length. It looks a little weird to me, but it'll grow back - more important, he's doing really great π

My brother Rick introduced me to Warrior and I fell in love with their album 'Fighting for the Earth' when it was released back in 1985. Special thanks to Parramore and the guys from Warrior for the incredible music that inspires us to this day!

Evelyn, Liana, and I went snowboarding at The Highlands in Harbor Springs, Michigan. It was cold, but it was a beautiful sunny day! It's always nice to get out and do something instead of staying cooped up inside all winter!

#FBF - I started working with Riot in the summer of 2013. I met the guys in person in February of 2014 when I flew to New York to rehearse for our first four shows in Europe. During that trip, we took the time to visit Tony Reale, who is the father of Riot founder Mark Reale π
