It is interesting that he looks so normal at the beginning of his career, but as the pictures get further on, you can almost see drugs? taking over his life. His eyes start to change, and even the shape of his face changes. I mean, it's not that he's not a good musician, but it's just sad how that happens, you know?Jena Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385358595707452914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-64332446895128086012009-03-19T16:46:00.000-08:002009-03-19T16:46:00.000-08:00Okay, pretty good list.

Let's just call it my wild side and leave it at that. :)<BR/><BR/>Someone mentioned Smash mouth and "I'm a Believer". The good thing about that is that when I was a GS leader and we were earning a badge...I chose to use the 60's as a decade. When I was playing some sixties music I owned, ALL the kids knew that song because of Shrek. So that was kind of a good thing. We had a room full of little girls singing a song over 30 years after I did. Of course my heart belongs to the Monkees but still...<BR/><BR/>And btw, that song has been covered by a BUNCH of people I never heard of.
