Life has been hard this last week, waking up daily with little to no sleep as I rely on pain killers to just help get through the day.  For those who don't know, I went through a surgery on November 18th. This is the surgery I've been waiting for since 2008 to help with the pain caused by RSD, read about RSD here.  Though the first part of the surgery has taken place, they were not able to finish. I will have to go back in for a smaller surgery to finish what they need to do.  In the meantime, I’m still in my normal pain though now it is coupled with the pain from the surgery.

In this episode I get to sit down with Eric Anzalone, best known as the Biker in the "Village People". Eric started off his career in performing long before he joined the Village People and some of his early work before putting on the leather, was wearing a shell.

In 2005, Eric Anzalone from the Village People took time to be interviewed for his work he did with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Here on Cowabunga Corner we’d like to share this interview for the first time, as a lead in to our 12th episode for season two, a video interview with Eric.

Cowabunga Corner:
How did you first hear of the Ninja Turtles?

Eric:
That would have to be the 1st Movie?

CC:
Did you watch the cartoons or movies?

Eric:
I watched the movies. By the time the second film came out, I was already involved with the TMNT, so I would try to catch the cartoons as well- you know character work; trying to make everything consistent.

Before being a Turtle did you have a favorite Turtle, if so did it change after being in the Tour?
