When I first realized this Actor/Vocalist would be part of TAAB 2, I was surprised.
Now that he is doing so well in his role as Gerald Bostock, I can't wait to see him in person.  If you feel like some, Ryan O'Donnell is either a Muppet or a Superb reason to see TAAB 1 & 2 Live.

Creation:The Story Behind the Beginning (2010) Short/Comedy - 19 min Creation: The Story Behind the Beginning is a recounting of the creation of the World
by its participants: Lucifer, Jesus, Gabriel and Michael.
A short comedy/mockumentary film in the style of the popular VH1 series Behind the Music,
each character gives their unique side of the story. We are guided through the inevitable ego clashes,
disagreements and proceeding downfall, similar to the typical arc of most rock bands.  (Christopher Rithin / Lucifer), ( Chris Wild / Michael), (Tara O'Hagan / Gabriel), (Ryan O'Donnell / Jesus)

 Ryan O'Donnell Rocks!  What a talented individual to go from "Quadrophenia" to "Thick as a Brick"

I really like Ryan, his personality and his way of being onstage. I hope Ian foresees for him other collaborations in the next Tour, but also for the next Album. I am fond of Ryan, as of course all previous Band members. I could appreciate it this past weekend and next month there will be two concerts TaaB 2 not far from where I live. M.  |

I think it may be because he's a fellow rider.   |

The Mods were very much into Italian 'modernist' styling, the scooters were a big part of that at the time, Vespa's and Lambretta's, with the LI and GS's competing for the bigger sales. |

So, what do American bikers think of 'The Mods' scooters? Well, knowing little of the history behind that movement and scooters in general I have to say they are rather interesting. You rarely see a scooter where I live, even though manufacturers have been trying very hard for years to get Americans to think of them as an affordable means of transportation. Our roads are just too unsafe for them, especially with every asshole glued to their cell phones as they drive. Safety is a primary concern, and with that said I do appreciate the fact that these scooters will catch people's eyes. They remind me of what some of the older Americans do to their full-dressers. While this pic is not American, it does give an idea how extreme people can get:  |

Our community is a "college Town" located near Cal State Long Beach. It is fairly small and parking is a intense issue yet small enough that walking is the norm. Students and some residents use Vespas and many other brands and are out and about in force constantly. On the other hand there are quite a few bikes, from full dressers to choppers that "hang" at a lot of the pubs, sports bars and restaurants on 2nd street, the main drag. A while back I took a great shot that I can't find at the moment, of a line of parked Harley's with a scooter parked in the middle of them, the scooters guy chatting with some leather clad bikers. The Bikers looking on with seeming great interest in the scooter. All two wheeled friends.  I will try and find it. Darin Note: the scooter riders I'm referring to are more the "nerd" variety, not so much Mods. |

I've been going to Americade since 2002 and still love looking at all the different rides. It doesn't matter what kind of bike. They are all good. Funny, back in 2008 this Suzuki got more attention than most of the bikes around it. This is the JFK bike.  |

The "Vespa" GS it was an extremely successful model here in Italy until the 70 's. |

M, It was probably the most desirable 'mod' scooter model back in the 60's, but I always had a hankering after the Lambretta LI, never had one but always preferred it's more stylised design. I've been tempted in my later years to buy a scooter and a motor-bike but believe that like middle age cyclists wearing cycling lycra, middle aged arses do not sit comfortably on a scooter, literally. |

In general, I had about 15 motorcycles, from when I had the age. Currently I have an old trial bike, a wonderful Spanish Montesa Cota 247 for at least 10 years, I use only in the mountainside . As I told you, I was going to buy last year the BMW k1600. I made two driving tests from the dealer, but I preferred the Kawasaki 1400GTR, which I have since the beginning of this year, which I like very very much. |

I do recall you telling me you decided on the Kawasaki. Nice sport-tourer. |
