Elvis 1956
Jimi Hedrix in London
The Doors in San Fransisco
that LA show in 1991 with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana all on the same bill
Muddy Waters

Jerry Lee "the Killer" Lewis 1957
Chuck Berry 1959
Tina Turner before she got loose from Ike
The Nine Inch Nails show last year when they played 'The Downward Spiral' song by song in album order.
2. Put your mp3 player on shuffle, what are the first three songs that play?
Red Hot Chili Peppers - My friends
Rick Ross Feat. Jay-Z - Hustlin' (Remix)
Nelly Furtado - Maneater
3. What singers would you like to see do a duet? (alive or dead)
Alanis Morrisette and Janis Joplin (both have unconventional singing styles and just belt it out, you FEEL it)
Madonna and Lady GaGa (really it is just a matter of time, right?)
Ani DeFranco and Pasty Cline (strange pick maybe but I would buy it)
4. Your favorite group that has the worst band name?
Pearl Jam (what guys? was spunk already taken?)
5. What are some fashion trends from the past you wish would come back in style?
See this is not gender specific. Gals' fashion changes with the season and the comeback varies to the point that you never know what will be mixed in later years/seasons. With guys' fashion it is much more flexible. Today things are so eclectic that one can be forgiven for something 'tastefully dated' if it is excused with 'their personal style' or 'signature' and in some cases if you go whole hog and head to toe you can pull off 'retro'.

Feelings.
1. How does true love feel to you?
Unconditional acceptance
2. What makes you feel warm inside?
Wine
3. Have you ever been in true love?
Yes
4. What's your deepest wish?
To give her everything she wants and provide anything she needs
5. What's the one thing making your inside cringe with longing?
Questions have now crossed the 'OMG so emo' line.

Random!

Random!
1. What is your favorite book and why?
The Partly Cloudy Patriot by Sarah Vowell is my answer today. I am a history nerd but really love thinking about how events of the past resonate today. Sarah is a master of the cause and effect of history and funny to boot.
2. How many languages do you speak?
Southern American English and gibberish.
3. How many family members do you have named Bill?, Jim? ETC?
No Bills or Jims that I know of. Plenty of Andy and Tommy kids though.
4. What's your all time favorite song?
Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode released onto the world Dec 27, 1957. That is my answer now. Great music is viral in nature. I am currently infected by Chuck Berry's fat fingered sound.
5. What can't you imagine your life without?
Music, MJ, aside from that I think I could adapt.
