Butch Miller was born on the same day that John Lennon and Yoko Ono stood naked atop the Empire State Building and declared it day one of year one. And if that doesn't give you a glimpse into his psyche, then count your lucky stars, because he can't make heads or tails of it himself. If that isn't enough info, then here's more: he was born as an Aquarian in 1970. Of that, make what you will.

He's a father, husband, writer, former professional musician (six and twelve electric and acoustic, and also did some bass gigs for cash), former process cameraman/platemaker/litho stripper, amateur scientist, and just your all around faux-nouveau renaissance man. Once he started a religion based on a tree-stump carved into the form of a mushroom.

His favorite movies: This is Spinal Tap, A Clockwork Orange, Highlander (Yes, Highlander, if you don't like it then tough titties), They Call Me Trinity, Urosutkidoji: Legend of the Overfiend, Taxi Driver, Pulp Fiction, Orgy of the Dead, Plan 9 From Outer Space, Ed Wood, Conan the Barbarian, Night of the Living Dead, Freaks, Cemetery Man, Cat People, Happy Gilmore, The Wall, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (for a start ...)
