| JEOPARDY BY GREG KIHN Add to My Profile | More Videos ALL OF GREG KIHN'S MUSIC VIDEOS AND MORE ON THIS GREAT DVD! LIVE CONCERT FOOTAGE, AUDIO COMMENTARIES BY GREG AND MORE! AVAILABLE NOW @http://gregkihn.biz/greg-kihn-dvd.html I heard a lot about myspace.com in the news and none of it was good. They were saying it was a predators playground, but when I checked it out I found out it was just a cool place to get together with friends. So, I figured, what the hell. Im in. Just for the record, I am not a weirdo. You might know who I am. I had a handful of hits back in the 80s (including The Breakup Song and Jeopardy) I toured the world, appeared on Saturday Night Live, opened for the Stones, made tons of videos and helped MTV get off the ground back in 83. It was a hell of a run. But, all things come to an end. By the end of the decade, the hits stopped coming and I had to clean up and get a life. I reinvented myself. I started writing novels and was nominated for the Bram Stoker Award. I wrote and published four novels and a bunch of short stories. Check them out. Theres more on the way. Someday, Ill make them all into movies. I started my broadcasting career in rock radio in 1995. For the past 10 years Ive been doing the morning show on 98.5 KFOX in San Jose, Ca. Now, Im going into syndication. My new show is called Big Rock Beat and its on everyday at www.gregkihn.com This is a whole new world for me, and I plan to explore every inch of it. Im having a ball. There is life after rock and roll! Im living proof. Yes, the Greg Kihn Band still plays, still kicks ass and takes names. My son Ry plays lead guitar and hes unbelievable. Im just not saying that because Im his dad, this kid rips. His first guitar teacher was Joe Satriani (who was in my band at the time). Hes a Cal Arts graduate with a guitar degree. So, with all this stuff going on, youd think Id run out of gas, but its the opposite! Ive got a load of ideas from movies to songs to TV shows to writing the great American novel. I guess I should keep pumping the old creative gristmill before the juice runs out. Why not? Life is good. It took me all this time to figure things out. And that brings us to here and now. I guess my main message is that you can do whatever you set your mind to. Ive done it a couple of times. Dont listen to the negative comments around you, just keep trying. Believe in yourself. Remember, everybodys good at something. Follow your dreams and dont give up. Lets rock! |
