Grazie, Elmo.

Just realized I forgot your homeboy, the Beauty, the Georgia Peach, Little Richard Penniman.

Richard! He's da man (I think). Just ask him! He'll tell ya!

BTW, the old Tic Toc club that he started in has re-opened as a resturant. If you ever get a chance to visit Macon, it's loaded with musical history - Richard, Otis, James Brown (born there, lives in Augusta & state prison), Allman's, R.E.M., etc. Georgia Music Hall Of Fame is worth a visit.

OUCH!

Maybe I shouldn't have done that to "The Godfather", but I had to!

I love CCR, Elmo, btw; just heard them some umpteen thousand times to much.

US: Van Halen, Aerosmith, Doors, Springsteen & E Street Band, KISS

World: Stones, AC/DC, Zeppelin, Beatles, Deep Purple
