    that's fucked up! scary... witnesses? I could definitely see someone swimming on a big lake choppy lake, getting hit by a boat, and the boat driver could have possibly never even known... boats have stereos, drivers watch their wakeboarders, swimming in big lakes is VERY dangers during boating hours...
    Whatever happens, it's very sad, Ace, please keep me posted :corn:

    He was on a pontoon boat with some family and friends when he jumped into the water to swim. After he didnt come up others jumped in but couldn't locate him. They called 911 but I guess they were drifting so much that they don't know the exact location where he jumped in. Over a dozen rescue teams are helping in the search. His family is asking for privacy as the search goes on. The police and rescue teams said they will not stop until they find him.

    It's still heartbreaking. Life is so fragile. The Frogs were a one of a kind band.

    Damn. I still can't believe it. I always thought I'd get another chance to see them live. I only saw them once at this small cafe in Madison, and it's an experience I'll never forget. Gonna listen to My Daughter the Broad now and scare my co-workers :lol:

    My sincerest apologizes for my words in the "other" thread about this topic, especially to 'Jeremy's Spoken'. Having a bad day and took out my frustrations in the wrong place. It's not who I am and I'm truly embarrassed. Once again, sorry 'Jeremy's Spoken' and to everyone else.
