    I wonder if that is where Prince got the idea to change his name to a symbol :twisted:
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
  • James Jamerson PERIOD!

    Then John Paul Jones Honorably Mentioned

    There are others sure, but if there wasn't a James Jamerson, music would just suck.

    Peace

    Any list that gives John Paul Jones only an honorable mention is suspect, IMO.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
