This post is a bit different than the usual but interesting enough if you are a fan of Tool, more specifically Maynard James Keenan. I was a big fan of Tool back in the 90's and some of Maynard's other musical projects. Back in 2008 when I first started training I ran across a video from a live show (undated) where a fan ran on stage. Maynard calmly tossed him and back mounted him while still performing the show.
Because of this video it's pretty well known in the Jiu-Jitsu community that he has ties to the sport but I personally didn't know much about his background. A recent conversation on the Sherdog grappling forum about the above video led me to Joe Rogan's interview with Maynard from last year. The discussion about Maynard's ties to Jiu-Jitsu starts at the 16:40 mark.

This video has multiple parts and is mostly focused on how the front man got involved in the wine making business which is also pretty fascinating being a Wine-O myself. If you like wine or want to see more about Keenan's winery out in Arizona there's a really cool documentary you can watch online or Netflix.
