i have never really cared for the Beatles, is that a sin? I didn't like them when they were popular back in the sixties. I was more of a Hendrix and Cream fan.
Once a headbanger, always a headbanger. I'm probably the only guy my age that doesn't own a Harley who would rather listen to Metallica than eat.

Fuzzy, hot and one is stinky. My beloved Petunia (the Peke) is not living up to her girly name. She prefers rolling around in the dirt to having bows in her hair.
