<p class="normal">Coolest Thing: Witnessing the birth of my son Brandon Stone Harley. It was totally amazing. When they pulled him out. "Holy chit! He looks just like me"
<p class="normal">Most Embarassing Moment: You said be truthful, so here goes...We were down in Houma, LA. Workin for Crazy Train. Hours before the show. I ordered a glass of water. I drank it. Not even ten minutes later. A chit pain hit me. At the time I was in the van smokin with Pat Bareis. I jumped up. Got out of the car. Ran over to some bushes. Just enough time to pull my pants down. Thank God, I got nothing on me. I had to use my shirt. Learned a valuable lesson that night. Bottled water when you're on the road.
