Reunited with an old friend

I was reunited with an old friend yesterday.  While listening to iTunes on shuffle it brought up a Shaded Red song.  Now I realize 99.9% of you don’t know who that is (Jeff Lingafelter you’re the .1%!), but that’s okay.  They were a Christian rock band back in the late 90’s.  I was introduced to them when they opened for Petra on a small stage in Elyria, Ohio back in 1997. (Yup, just dated myself.)   I only have their first album which was self-titled.  The band was struck by tragedy in January of 1998 when they’re bus struck a patch of black ice killing one band member and critically wounding another.  They were never quite the same after that and the band decided to call it quits a few years later.  All that to say, I really enjoy their sound to this day…and would recommend them to anyone who likes rock/90’s alternative rock.

Guns and Rock ‘N’ Roll

Gun owners and all those panicking over the looming election in November, check out this post over at the View From the Porch Blog.  Well written Tam.

Also, got a link to this story in a Crain’s Daily headlines email today…cool idea, wonder who came up with it.  While I think it’s great the person dressed up like Gene Simmons might make some old person or toddler wet themselves as they board the public transit.  Just saying, it could happen.

Wow, three posts in one day…I’m scaring myself.
