The funny thing about Josh is that though he might seem physically intimidating at first, it's pretty easy to get beyond the physical appearance quickly. I think when someone is real and genuine, that's what happens, and Josh is way more real to me than most people I ever meet. Although I have no real desire to get tattoos (ok, maybe one or 2 would be cool), I am fascinated by the idea of people that are so in tune with themselves that it becomes communication and self-expression. For a while in the 90's I think it was just something cool to do...but when it's coming from someone that is genuine, body art takes on a whole other meaning. I would never think of someone like Josh as being a "rather wisted individual"...that's what happens when you judge a book by its cover. Open it up and read it a bit, then make a decision. I wish more people were like Josh in being comfortable with themselves and really KNOWING who they are...being self-aware and wanting to crack open one's own psyche are qualities that are sorely lacking in many people I know.

Intimidating to most (probably)...cute to others  :)

Whenever I see him I just want to mush his little cheeks and give him a noogie!

Here's the thing

He has taken on "Gentle Giant" status in our house. Josh introduced himself to my kids during a soundcheck/Pancake Mountain taping, and as you can imagine, made a great impression. Since then they have seen his photo in the Post and on the web a couple of times. When one sees him and says, "There's Josh!" the other comes running. We should invite him to our next birthday party!
 Actually, how about a children's book with a thatguy character who scares away the bad guys? Just like at the club!
