A FEW YEARS AGO NOW, I MET A YOUNG MAN, A YOUNG MAN THAT WOULD HAVE A PROFOUND EFFECT ON MANY LIVES IN THE YEARS TO COME, I WANT TO TELL PEOPLE OF MY MEETING WITH THIS YOUNG LAD.....
IN 2003 A FEW OF US WENT TO THE ROCK AND BLUES CUSTOM BIKE SHOW, HEADLINED BY THIN LIZZY, THIS WAS MY FIRST MEETING WITH ZAC, AND INITIALLY THOUGHT WHAT A PLEASANT WELL MANNERED LAD, AS THE WEEKEND WENT ON, HE OPENED UP AND HIS HUMOUR CAME THRU. AT SOME POINT DURING THE WEEKEND WE GOT TALKING, AND I ASKED HOW HE GOT ON AT SCHOOL, AS HE HAD LONG HAIR, UNDERCUT, BLACK NAIL POLISH, HE MAY EVEN HAD HAD BLACK EYE LINER ON, BUT CANT REMEMBER PROPERLY, HE ADMITTED TO BE BULLIED OFTEN, NOT IN A BAD WAY, BUT ANY BULLYING IS BAD, SO I SUGGESTED HE TONE IT DOWN TILL HE WAS A BIT OLDER (HE WAS 13), HIS REPLY "WHY SHOULD I LET THEM BEAT ME", LEFT ME SPEECHLESS, BUT IT WAS SOMETHING I CAME TO THINK ABOUT A LOT OVER THE FOLLWING YEARS, I WISH I'D HAD THAT STRENGTH OF CHARACTER AT HIS AGE, HIS ATTITUDE WAS AMAZING, THO WE DIDNT SEE EACH OTHER AN AWFUL LOT OVER THE COMING YEARS, I OFTEN THOUGHT ABOUT HIS ATTITUDE, AND WHEN WE DID MEET UP, I WAS MEETING A CRACKING LAD, WHO ALWAYS SEEMED PLEASED TO MEET UP AND WHO HAD RETAINED THAT ATTITUDE AS FAR AS I CAN SEE..
SADLY ZAC WAS TAKEN FROM HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY JUST BEFORE HIS 18TH BIRTHDAY, BUT THE MAN THAT HE WAS WILL LIVE ON IN ALL THAT MET HIM.... THE NAME OF THIS BAND IS OUR LITTLE DEDICATION TO THAT "FUCKUM" ATTITUDE
