John Lombardo (born 30 September 1952) was one of the founding members of the alternative rock band 10,000 Maniacs and one of the band's most influential members, writing much of its early material. He is also a member of folk rock duo John & Mary.
Biography
Called by the Buffalo News "a dominant force" in the Maniacs, Lombardo was in the group from its inception in 1981 until he left in 1986 after the release of their first major-label album, The Wishing Chair. Lombardo cited "creative and political differences" as his reason for leaving the band.
"His care and concern for athletes was only surpassed by his willingness and enthusiasm for educating athletic trainers and young physicians in sports medicine,"
"I wasn’t sure whether it was going green or not, ... but I told myself that when I picked up the throttle at the beginning of the straight, I wasn’t going to lift until [the officials] decided what they were going to do. So I had a good run on J.R."
"You always prefer to finish under green-flag conditions, but I’m not complaining,"
"Motivation through fear was Woody's biggest coaching tool,"
"Now that I can taste third place in the championship, Ill be doing everything I can to keep it, ... Buttonwillow seems to be a track that suits our Van Diemen so Im really looking forward to getting back out there."

"Overall, as a group in general, it was a tremendous success. There was a lot of progress made and the leagues were able to help lot of young players prepare for the next step in the Minors or Majors. It was encouraging to see guys take off and do well."
"Juan has built off of the success he had late in year with Texas. He has tried to solidify his status and is trying to compete for one of the open spots in the rotation. I think it is important that they are realizing that this is part of the opportunity to build and get better."
