I'm slowly putting more of my book on  m y blog. Some of this stuff  is over twenty years old  but I need to preserve stuff on myt blog since my old website went down. Th ese are original  without any editing, which might not win me a Pulitzer, but it  is a good way to back up my book while expanding the blog! March 27, 1997 River of Dreams (B.

The more shows you seen the bigger ASSHOLE.. This ISN'T ABLE "BEING A FAN BUT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE LAST SAHOW IS TASTLESS. He done this for ten years. He's put on 150 shows., So good, some just OK.
