Yippee

Was very sorry to hear this news today: Soul Legend Brown Has Prostate Cancer

Word is the shooter was a "fanatical" fan. Pantera obsessed and all broken up about the split of the band. And possibly blaming Pantera of "stealing" his lyrics. Shooting suspect's bizarre behavior

I am reminded of Tony Montana, in Scarface with "The world is yours" on the blimp, and say, Indies, the "Internet and the World Are Yours"

silly wabbit, that makes for a LOT more wabbits.

This Day in Music History...Dec 8th John Lennon You know, in my travels today across the Internet, I found only a few mentions of this unfortunate anniversary. Very sad.
