I-95 Drive Home Mystery Artist [VIDEO]

Tonight’s mystery artist after deciding he might have a drinking problem so he gave it up.  The result of this was that without a hangover each morning he had extra time on his hands so he started working out and now at the age of 58 he is ripped  and a vegetarian.  Any guess who he is or his band??

I found this story in on the page for the Los Angeles Times. The question from the L.A. Times was, “You have a body a 20-year-old would envy. How did the healthy living thing start for you?”

The answer came from Def Leppard’s Phil Collen who said,

“It came when I stopped drinking in 1984. It was getting out of hand. I tried to do the social drinking thing, and I couldn't do it. I would start with the odd glass of wine, and then it would be shots of Jack Daniel's by the end of the week. So I thought there could be a problem and I stopped completely. And then there was two extra hours a day because I'd wake up early and not be hung over. So I started jogging along the coast in Ireland”

From that point he began lifting weights and a fan of Bruce Lee took up martial arts. Then at one point after watching ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ he decided eating dead bodies was “a bit weird”, as he put it, so he became a vegetarian and then years later for health reasons a vegan.  Needless to say if you saw them play Bangor you can attest for yourself that Phil is one healthy looking dude.

Here they are with tonight’s featured song:
