| One of Britain's richest guys, called Philip Green, just spent £4 million on his son's Bar Mitzvah party. £1.2 million of this went on hiring Destiny's Child to play live. (This guy spent £5 million on his wife's birthday party last year, when he hired Rod Stewart).
So, if you had all that bread burning a hole in your pocket, who would you hire for the night? |

We'll chip-in together...that way, maybe we could even afford
Corky and the Juice Pigs as an opening act.

Keller on bass, Temp and Al on lead guitar, Witko, Wong, Clifford on rhythm, and Clifford on lead vocals. I would just bounce in and out on guitar and vocals, but with my sound turned down so as not to embarass myself.
Oh yeah, we've done that.
Never mind..... |

I was washing his car with a friend of mine
He was a little fat guy in a red jumpsuit
I said "You look kind of funny"
He said "I know that I do"
"But I got a great big house on the hill here
And a great big blonde wife inside it
And a great big pool in my backyard and another great big pool
beside it

No need for McCartny to show up, because I'll pay Mike to sing all the songs from his Beatles catalog! |

It is likewike a federal crime to hire Bruce springsteen to perform non-federally approved sex acts on a Llama.
However, the Llama may do whatever it wishes to Bruce. |

Unfortunately, distributing it violates several international trade agreements, basic rules of ethics and animal husbandry laws in 23 states. |

Location: Keller, TX | That's Paul Wag's band "Kid on a Pony". They played for us a the Texas OFC get together last month. Paul will give you more info.
In that picture, we asked Ali (who was playing a Fender acoustic) to play the Adamas she has in the picture. That was the Adamas I sold to a guy in Spain.
The mando is Hizzoner's. Paul was playing his Ovation bass. Too bad O doesn't make drums... |
