In 1971 the greatest band of all-time Black Sabbath released the album “Paranoid”. Legend has it that the original album title was “War Pigs” but the label worried that the album would be seen as anti Vietnam war. The band’s second album and probably to this day their most influential was met with success and controversy.

If you asked Tank why he got in to radio he will tell you “Some kids wanted to be Zach Morris. I wanted to be ‘Dr’ Johnny Fever.” There isn’t anything else in the world that Tank could see himself doing.
