Gender	Male
Location	Minneapolis, Upper Midwest
Introduction	I live in Minneapolis and play rock'n'roll music with my band, Nato Coles & the Blue Diamond Band. I take in a lot of baseball, both at the ballpark and via other media. I was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin, and I spent most of my life in or near it - Milwaukee is where I learned how to be the guy I am. I've played in a bunch of other bands (Used Kids, Modern Machines, Radio Faces, others). This blog will primarily focus on rock'n'roll and baseball. No promises, though. These are interesting times after all.
Interests	Besides the obvious two... I like reading, bike riding, coffee, booze, walking around the neighborhood, being Milwaukee's fourth Socialist mayor, and the Simpsons.
Favorite movies	The Road Warrior, This Is Spinal Tap, Major League, The Big Lebowski, The Princess Bride, others.
Favorite music	Husker Du, the Replacements, the Ramones, Johnny Cash, the Reigning Sound, Thin Lizzy, Townes Van Zandt, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, 50's and 60's rock'n'roll and r&b, classic and outlaw country, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Favorite books	Tortilla Flat - John Steinbeck, Psychotic Reactions and Carbuerator Dung - Lester Bangs, The Soul Of Baseball - Joe Posnanski (and Buck O'Neil), Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy
