Went to school to learn, girl
After hearing Slash interviewed on Howard Stern, I bought his book last Sunday. It was pretty enjoyable, excessive, and ridiculous in all the right ways. By the way, "Slash" isn't a made-up rock name.
When he was in grade school, one of his mom's boyfriends started calling him Slash because he was hyper and always running around. His mom also dated David Bowie for a year.
I have to say, that's a totally legit rockname.
Unlike "Sting," or should I say "Gordon?"
He changed his name at some point from "Gordon" to "Sting."
That was self-chosen. Hey, everybody... call me Sting.
Sting?
Sting? Really?
HA HA HA HA, GORDON, YOU FRIGGIN TOOL!!! GO PLAY IN THE FIELDS OF GOLD WITH YOUR BLUE TURTLES, YA WANKER!
Anyway, I finished the book today, closed the last page and learned to play "Patience."

I didn't see any Geore Strait on the list...did you just forget to list them?
Now THAT'S a song list.All deference to Bon Jovi. Is Bon Jovi plural..like cacti or octopi ?
Are there more Jovi's or Bon's running loose that need our help for thier preservation?
Think about it folki.
Wishing I could be in Bozeman on the 1st. Would love to be strolling and come across the Mitten hanging out and taking the requests you know and throwing a herring or anchovie at people who scream out a request the weren't known to Das Mittenites...now that we have the playlist.
Personal: it's coming Duder...the book bag is coming.
WOuld love to hear it, but driving 16 hours with three kids isn't condusive to a 'nice night out.'
Hope all goes well.
