Thanks to everyone who voted. I appreciate it. The guy really deserves it.
Just a littlebackground on the guy:
Probably one of the funniest and most talented guys I know.
He's been trying to break into the entertainment business for as long as I've known him. (A natural born entertainer)
He was the co-creator and host of a long running local cable show in Chicago, back in the late 80's and early 90's, called Color TV. (My old band appeared on it in 1990.)
He's done stand up, local comedy troops and improv for the past 5-7 years.
For the past year and 1/2 he's been a side-kick in Chicago, on the Kevin Matthews Radio Show (105.9 WCKG). It's the show that follows Howard Stern. (Although this does not do his talent any justice. Hopefully it will be a stepping stone for him to do his own show some day.)
He also came up with ideas and did some writing as Lumpy the Clown on
http://www.RedBrain.com a few years ago. (The top 11 list, Horror-scopes, The Lumpy the Clown Column.)
Also, I went and encouraged him to quite his real job to pursue his dreams and he did. So if it all worked out for the guy, I would be quite happy I didn't steer him down the wrong path.
Plus the guy lost a fucking 125lbs!
