Hi Rooster~ They did pick their name appropriately. Todd does or did have a big head physically and egotistically. Back in the late 80s, I worked at a bar called J.J. McCabes in Boulder, Co. We had live music Friday and Saturdays. He played numerous times. A couple gigs before he became big and and once after he became bigger. At that point, the bar wasn't big enough to hold the crowd he attracted. My association with him was minimal; but, what I do remember about him was he thought he was bigger than he was and didn't pay his bar tab. One of the band members gracefully came back and payed it a couple nights later. In his defense, he proved something to me back then. It is a good thought to ponder. He believed he was "BIG." He saw himself as "BIG" and he became "BIG." He does have talent and made his way through all the hogwash. He started like most others, at a college bar and parties playing for a few people. His story is good and his songs are good and he did well. Because he believed in himself.
I'd like to add, his band members were a huge part of his success. They deserve credit too.

This question is open as most of my questions are, you take it in the direction the words take you. It's part of the exercise. I'm interested to see and learn the associations my silly questions bring in others. and yes, life can be a bitter sweet symphony.
