There are many, many things I could write as a response to this...but all in all, it boils down to this for me...
...Because of Judas Priest, I will always have a 'Friend'...
Anyone who has talked with me knows how passionate I am about music, in particular Priest. Having been introduced to them at such an early age and before their powerful rise to the top, we kind'a 'grew' up together. The 'Boy's' have been with me for 30+ years now, and a lot has happend in those years...I'm talking parties in my youth, graduations, military, a couple of marriages (and their respective divorces!!), births, deaths, and coming soon grandchildren, different jobs, long road trips (I used to be a truck driver), as well as through Priest, I've made many wonderful friends here, at JP.com.
The list could go on forever, but I'm sure you get my point, Judas Priest has been, and always will be my friend to turn to...
