Paul Thorn
It's a Great Day!You know it is going to be a great day when Paul Thorn is scheduled to be on the BOB&TOM show. Thorn's an accomplished painter and singer/songwriter who also happens to be an ex-boxer, which means when he sings about whooping somebody's ass, he knows exactly what he's talking about. Though "It's a Great Day" has become a classic and is the "Stairway to Heaven" of Thorn's musical library, most of his tunes are much softer and soulful; many of which can be found on his new album Pimps and Preachers. Listen to Paul Thorn’s gospel inspired music and you'll end up either laughing or crying by the end of the song, maybe even a little of both. Paul Thorn fought middleweight Champ Roberto Duran on national television, has written songs with John Bon Jovi and Timothy B. Schmidt of the Eagles and lists skydiving as one of his favorite hobbies. Lisa Landry
