Yes she put quite a few down there that were omitted...most of them because of the "duh" factor. Clapton, Santana, and Aretha go without saying. The rest were oversights...
You know what, ANYTHING MoTown can be added to the list for that matter - it’s all good. Well, classic MoTown at least.

Oh, and some more -- John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Albert Collins (no relation), Booker T and the MG’s, Freddy King, Jimmy Vaughan (Stevie’s older bro) also the Thunderbird (mainly because I like the cars, but also because Jimmy Vaughan played guitar for them) The Vaughan Brother’s Band (guess who was in that one?) Johnny Lang, Kenny Wayne Sheperd Band, Charlie Musselwhite, Isaac Hayes, Steve Winwood, Stone Temple Pilots (only "Core," "Purple" and "Tiny Songs..." sucked) Henry Rollins Band (so what if its all spoken word and screaming, Rollins is cool.), Gwar (joking), Woody Guthrie, Arlo Guthrie, Todd Snider, Paul Shaffer, Billy Boy Arnold, Eddie Floyd (think where you’ve heard that name before), Syl Johnson, Tommy "pipes" McDonnell, Blues Traveler, Lonnie Brooks, B.B. King, Taj Mahal, Sam Moore, Donald "duck" Dunn, Wilson Picket, Junior Wells, Bruce Springstein, the "E" Street band, Bo Diddley, Dr. John, Lou Rawls, Grover Washington, Jr., Otis Redding, Willie Nelson, Albert King, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Nathan East, Lenny Kravitz, Blue Man Group, Bob Marley, Digital Underground, Jeff Beck, Joe Walsh, Iron Butterfly, Primus, Radiohead, Blur, White Zombie/Rob Zombie, Three Dog Night, U2, Victor Wooten (awsome bassist), ZZ Top, No Doubt, Weird Al, Prodigy ------------- any others?







This has been one hell of a week. Monday, at the end of the day, while leaving work, I ran over my cell phone. Fucking crushed it flat with my truck (figure with around 1400 lbs on that one tire, it’s pretty fucked) The damn thing fell off of my pocket where I had it clipped when I was getting in...then I backed out of the parking space and felt a little bump. "Hmm.........." I thought, "what the hell was that?" looked over. "fuck." Ran up to it "it’s still good, it’s still good" but the LCD screen was fragmented and purple, "come on, make a noise, gimme a beep, anything!!!" but nope, I killed it.

So this week has been building on that theme since then.

But, to give out a minor secret (more like a little known fact), Alec is no longer going to teach at BHS after this semester. So tomorrow we are removing the computers from his room. They belong to the Technology Dept, not BHS, This activity is bound to REALLY piss some people off.
But on the up side, The Great Colovos himself is moving (back) to Challenger to be the district’s online course teacher. Most decidedly a move up for him, and a severe loss for Bethel High School.

Ok what else....there was something else....damnit

Oh, yeah, I got the new truck semi-roadworthy. We’ll see how this goes....it don’t run to good right yet...mainly the accelerator pump on the carb does nothing when it’s cold. A new carb will solve that, but the one I want is $380 so not yet. (well the one I REALLY want is almost 600 and that’s just out of the question-plus that would drop my fuel economy to around 3 mpg) But otherwise it’s more or less ready to rock and roll....the brakes really could use some good exercising, the left rear wheel locks when you step on the brakes....bleeding them will help that but that’s yet another thing I haven’t gotten to yet. I will, it’s just a matter of time before I can get to everything...

later, all.
