The band’s original recorded output totals but three albums (2 indies and their self titled major label debut.), so if you’re looking to discover the band I suggest picking up... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~429875302020 Tue, 13 May 2008 11:58:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_429875302020?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_429875105412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - Everyone man subscribes to Playboy for the articles, we all know that right? But let’s be honest with each other, what is truly the best part of Playboy? Obviously it’s airbrushed nekkid playmates and their cheesy handwritten profiles but that’s... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~429875105412 Tue, 13 May 2008 11:54:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_429875105412?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_428150066820?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - Stop me if you've heard this one before: A former soft-core porn actress leaves her wild life behind to minister to those in the sex industry she left behind.

And yet, since he’s been so successful as an actor over the past twenty-five years, it’s easy to forget he got his start doing stand up.

For a band with only two, maybe three good records, they’ve sure managed to hang around for almost three decades now. As much as I like their... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412717518468 Mon, 31 Dec 2007 12:49:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412717518468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_412716863108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - Since its release in 1980, the Rubik&#146s cube has been an enigma for some, and a simple diversion for others. It&#146s quickly gone on to become the best selling puzzle of all time, selling 250 million units to date. What makes it so popular?... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412716863108 Mon, 31 Dec 2007 12:42:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412716863108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_412499742340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - You might know Jenny Lewis as front-woman for the band Rilo Kiley, or perhaps you may know her from her days as an actress in films such as “Troup Beverly Hills”. If you don’t, that’s alright, because I didn’t either before picking up “Rabbit Fur Coat”... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412499742340 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 17:07:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412499742340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_412222131844?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - Even before I was allowed to attend a concert in person, I’ve been fascinated with people’s concert stories. I remember being envious of all my friend in ninth grade who were lucky enough to see Ratt’s Chattanooga stop with Billy Squire opening... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412222131844 Thu, 27 Dec 2007 14:13:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412222131844?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_412221345412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - My first recollection of Whitesnake happened in the spring of &#14687, when I caught their video for &#147Still Of The Night&#148. I wasn&#146t sure if I truly liked the song, or if I just liked seeing straight jacketed Tawny Kitaen being carted off in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412221345412 Thu, 27 Dec 2007 14:09:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412221345412?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_411367739012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - The eighties were a strange time for artists who had achieved commercial success in the seventies. With the success of New Wave and the surprise rise of MTV, it seemed like almost any band with a pretty lineup and a keyboard could create a hit. Some... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~411367739012 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 18:49:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_411367739012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_411257966212?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - I don’t know what it is, but there’s something I really, really like about Joan Osborne and at the same time she also makes me a little uneasy. There’s no logical reason, but she’s a little off putting to me in that Tori Amos sort of way, or Mariah... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~411257966212 Tue, 18 Dec 2007 20:32:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_411257966212?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410518457988?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - In 1987 you could have told everyone Aerosmith were about to embark on an epic comeback that would see them dominating the music scene even greater than they did in the 70&#146s. If you did though, people would look to see how bloodshot your eyes were... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410518457988 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 12:46:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410518457988?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_409698340484?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - From the outside, it probably looked like Van Halen finally had it made. They&#146d toiled for years building a fan base, even selling out arenas before they signed their first record deal. Their first three albums yielded hit singles and reached... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~409698340484 Thu, 6 Dec 2007 13:40:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_409698340484?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_408514498180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - 1983 and New Wave were still going strong thanks to MTV invading suburbia via cable lines. In 1983 you could still install a Pro-Western government with 6000 soldiers on a weekend. (You&#146re welcome, Grenada!) and be back in time to catch up with the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~408514498180 Sun, 25 Nov 2007 19:09:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_408514498180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_407381839492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - Unless you were born completely without shame, life is going to find you in embarrassing or awkward situations.

I get no kicks watching a bunch of folks get maimed, mutilated and murdered if presented realistically. However, throw in some cheesy one-liners, an outlandish premise or... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~392516505220 Tue, 17 Jul 2007 18:58:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_392516505220?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_390948884100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - When I go to the video store, I tend to skip the new releases and head straight for the middle section where the movies are a little older and a lot cheaper. The lure of five movies for five bucks grabs me, but I&#146ve found there&#146s more to it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~390948884100 Sat, 14 Jul 2007 12:15:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_390948884100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_389098278532?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - Maybe I’m just getting old and crotchety, but I haven’t been able to find many mainstream artists I enjoy over the stretch of an album. Great singles still come and go, but there are few people who can sustain my enjoyment for more than a song or... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~389098278532 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:08:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_389098278532?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_336742682244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - It’s hard to believe now, but there was a time I couldn’t stand Patrick Swayze. I guess you can blame that on his starring in “Dirty Dancing” and my best friend’s forced viewing of it multiple times by his then girlfriend. He hated that movie with a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~336742682244 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 21:20:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_336742682244?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_330244984452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - Have you ever watched one of those old cartoons where a guy is trying to make a decision, and he has tiny angel version of himself on one shoulder, and a tiny devil clone eon his other?
