Life and career
1962-79: Early life
Stradlin was born as Jeffrey Dean Isbell in Lafayette, Indiana. His father was an engraver, and his mother worked for a phone company; they divorced when he was eight. Of his hometown, Stradlin later said, "It was cool growing up there. There's a courthouse and a college, a river and railroad tracks. It's a small town, so there wasn't much to do. We rode bikes, smoked pot, got into trouble—it was pretty Beavis and Butt-Head actually."

In finance, an on the run security or contract is the most recently issued, and hence most liquid, of a periodically issued security. On the run securities are generally more liquid and trade at a premium to other securities. Other, older issues are referred to as off the run securities, and trade at a discount to on the run securities.
Examples
United States Treasury securities have periodic auctions; the treasury of a given tenor, say 30 years, which has most recently been auctioned is the on-the-run security, while all older treasuries of that tenor are off-the-run.
For credit default swaps, the 5-year contract sold at the most recent IMM date is the on-the-run security; it thus has a remaining maturity of between 4 years, 9 months and 5 years.
A number of indices only hold on-the-run contracts, to ease trading.
Trades
When a new security is issued, becoming the new on-the-run security, buying the new contract and selling the old one is called rolling the contract.
A convergence trade involves the difference in price between the on-the-run and the most recent off-the-run instrument: for long tenors, these are virtually the same instrument, and in any event, an on-the-run instrument becomes off-the-run upon the issue of a newer instrument. Thus, if the basis (difference in price) between an on-the-run and most recent off-the-run instrument becomes large, one may buy the off-the-run and sell the on-the-run in anticipation of the basis shrinking. This trade, for 30-year treasuries, is noted as having been practised by Long-Term Capital Management.
"On the Run" is the second single from American hip hop duo Kool G Rap & DJ Polo's 1992 album Live and Let Die. Released with "Straight Jacket" as a B-side, it was later also featured on the compilation albums Killer Kuts (1994) and The Best of Cold Chillin' (2000).
Background
"On the Run" is a long, twisty heist story that Kool G Rap tells from the perspective of a low-level mob henchman, working for the Luciano crime family. Dissatisfied by what he thinks is insufficient pay for the drug running and money laundering jobs he is required to handle from day to day, he steals a shipment of 10 kg of cocaine (around $200,000 worth) so he can go into business for himself. His bosses catch him on the way to the airport, where he is plotting to flee town with his wife and son, but they are able to escape following a gunfight. He then drives into Mexico and stops at a filling station where he is again pursued by the Luciano family. He is able to kill his pursuers, including Don Luciano, and escapes.

by: Izzy StradlinWell, I saw you sneaking
Round my neighborhood
I can tell by looking
You're just no good
Scarrier than hell
With your long black hair
When you walk along by
Make a blind man stare
Come into my house
My pig just squeal
Walk into my room
The wallpaper peel
Up jump the devil
When you come around
Soon as you leave
He go back in the ground
Devil's with the pig
And I spit in his eye
When I come around here
Then my cow went dry
My hens won't lay
And my ducks won't quack
Since you brought the devil
Round my chicken shack
Well, you and the devil
Make a terrible pair
Make me jump out
My long underwear
Devil was a laughing
But I ain't afraid
Set the place on fire
Put it out with a spade
Up jump the devil
When you come around
Soon as you leave
He go back in the ground
