Editor and writer Margaret Bonham has assembled a collection of stories that captures the spirit, the mystique, and the [...]

     What can I say. For $35.00 I received invaluable knowledge, got to meet famous people, made a few new friends, spent way too much money on nicknack’s and books, and overall, had a really good time.

Ha,Ha,ha. Red Hot Chili Peppers take three early Grammy’s. Talk about predictable. Cliche’ish. And they have what ? Three songs people actually listen to? Those guys sold their soul to commercialism, and it’s really paying off for them. There are so many more bands that are more worthy imo. How about Default? The third album [...]
