Official Tim Napalm (aka Tim Stegall) Profile
“Oh, yeah! And greetings from the public library....”
Blurbs
About me:
Hi, I'm Tim. Tim Napalm to some, Tim Stegall to others. Doesn't matter, I answer to both. I'm a longtime rock 'n' roll musician/bandleader/songwriter and occasional rock journalist who's been hanging around the edges of the punk scene since the early '80s. I just moved to Los Angeles, from my native Austin, TX, following a brief stints in Tucson and Phoenix. I'm currently a solo artist, although I am taking a hiatus from music as I try to get settled here. I previously led an Austin group called The Hormones and a later NYC-based outfit called Napalm Stars, both of whom you can hear on my music page (at Number One in my Top Friends). I made my living for years writing for big rock mags (as well as many fanzines), and still do that on occasion. I also host a weekly rock 'n' roll internet radio blowout, "RADIO NAPALM," Wednesdays at 10 PM Eastern, 9 PM Central, 8 PM Mountain, and 7 PM Pacific over www.woodyradio.com.
Who I'd like to meet:
Who would I like to meet? Punk rockers, finger poppers, be-boppers, stylists, leftists, sex-positive revolutionaries, beat poets, guitar heros, porn heroines, misfit prose junkies, coffee addicts, intellectuals, off-center clothing designers, six-string addicts, Brit poppers, and young modernists of all ages. And Iggy Pop and John Waters. Again.While you're here, you might as well buy some tunes....

"I have no pleasure in any man who despises music. It is no invention of ours: it is a gift of God. I place it next to theology. Satan hates music: he knows how it drives the evil spirit out of us". ~ Martin Luther
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." - Frederic Nietzche
What do I love, in a nuthsell? '70s Punk (Sex Pistols, NY Dolls, Clash, Generation X), Manic Street Preachers, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Hanoi Rocks, Joy Division, Rolling Stones, The Who, the White Stripes, blues, '70s reggae, '60s soul, ancient country music, some garage, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Elvis, old jazz...but that just barely scratches the surface!
And by the way, I am OBSESSED with The Libertines. Best band of this decade, for my money: The perfect mix of punk and poetry, and so achingly, thrillingly human, with incredible songwriting. As my buddy Will says, it's like England's finally produced their own Replacements. Certainly the first major UK thrill I've received since the early Manics and Elastica....
And have I mentioned my obsessions with Cheap Trick, Hanoi Rocks, or Johnny Thunders?Movies

Books
"The Basketball Diaries" -Jim Carroll, "I Need More" - Iggy Pop, "To Kill A Mockingbird", - Harper Lee, "The Bell Jar" - Sylvia Plath, " England's Dreaming" - Jon Savage, "Women" -Charles Bukowski...tons more. I read incessantly. it's one of my addictions.Heroes
Iggy Pop, Richey Manic, Bowie, Keith Richards, Pete Townshend, The Clash, Johnny Thunders (my ultimate hero!), Johnny Rotten, Steve Jones, Rick Nielsen, Jack Kerouac, William S.Burroughs, Bukowski, Lester Bangs("Rock 'n' roll, at its core, is a buncha raving shit."), Muhammed Ali, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley when he was 21.
