Tom Justice: The Olympic Hopeful Turned Bank Robber

It's ironic to say the least that this guy would turn out to be the antithesis of his own name. Tom Justice had become enamored with cycling at the age of 13 when his crush invited him to watch a race. Ever since then, cycling became his life, eventually being chosen to be trained for the Olympics. So what led him to become a bank robber later in his life? Read his story on Chicago Mag.

Great article! Tom's an acquaintance of mine though his sister Jennifer, who used to play in my rock band Tautologic. Jen gave me a partial rundown, but this article does a great job of filling in details that don't exactly come up in casual conversation.

The details I had got turned into a song called "The Choirboy," which you can hear at:

"The Choirboy" was released on my band Tautologic's 2018 album Re:Psychle, which you can find here:

I was relieved when Tom told me he dug the song.
