Jim Martin had thousands of adoring fans. He traveled the world and lived nearly every musician's dream, but he's over that now. The former Faith No More guitarist would rather grow pumpkins.

Martin's 1,087-pound pumpkin won first prize last week in a major Santa Rosa contest that drew competitors from around the state.
