Gimme five, I'm still alive, ain't no luck, I learned to duck.
Check my pulse, it don't change. Stay seventy-two come shine or rain.
Wave the flag, pop the bag, rock the boat, skin the goat.
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.

(17,487 posts)I'm about 90% sure that's who it is. I thought it was Joe Russo too at first glance.
