foot pain?

So once upon a time there was a guy named Kevin. He was "homeless" but not- he had enough money to start living, but not stay afloat. He was trying to get enough saved away so he could actually STAY on his feet.

Kevin is a talented guitar player and singer. He'd sit with a sign that read "anything helps, even a smile" while he'd play his guitar for passersby. He'd play at 30th Street Station, the 30th Street Septa stop, and anywhere else he could sit down and perform. He even started playing gigs at CHOP. Every time I'd see him I'd harmonize with him or play a song or two, and toss him a few bucks.

Unfortunately, a week and a half ago in broad daylight in Rittenhouse Square, someone asked Kevin for a lighter. Kevin reached for his case, then got knocked out cold. His phone was gone, his money he made that day was gone, but worst of all, his baby- his guitar- was stolen too.

I saw him a few days later crying in 30th street without a guitar. I asked him what happened and was enraged after he told me. I said to him "We'll fix this."

With the help of another friend, $330+ was raised by a bunch of college kids for Kevin via an online PayPal type thing called gofundme. It was enough for a brand new Alvarez guitar, strings, a capo, and the rest of the money went right into Kevin's pocket.

I just got back from delivering him his new guitar with my friend. It was one of the proudest moments of my life.

Most likely to win the Art Ross Trophy:
Hal Gill, Luke Schenn, Alex Trebeck, Jay Rosehill, Breyer's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream, Jon Scott, Honus Wagner, or Alex Ovechkin?

All of the above?

So true

I remember hearing a talk at college by some dbag writer from Rolling Stone. I asked him why does your mag always poop on bands like Queen, Rush and Yes, is it cause you wannabe musicians are just jealous of their musical and vocal talent?

His response was to tell me to go frank myself.

Lester Bangs?

I think my breasts comment scared Grace away.
- jmatchett383

Who's afraid of the big bad breasts?

Where's the punk?
- jmatchett383

I worded that poorly. Downfall of multi-tasking.

2. Taking Back Sunday
4. Brand New
6. Rise Against
9. Blink 182
10. Say Anything

These aren't punk-punk but variations of punk if you know what I mean.

About 30 minutes ago, by now. I said that in my little dissertation up there. "Just got back"

Dave Marsh, probably.

He was Springsteen's first biographer.
