      My girlfriend won tickets to one of those 10/31 shows, back in the early 90's.  Nowhere near angry enough for my tastes.

He has a deep love of music, and seems pretty good about giving respect to those that came before him.

(OMG what a long winded response to a simple post -- sorry guys)

No doubt he was smart enough to pay the royalties.

I wonder why they left out the signature chicken pickin' turnaround from SHA though?

(For those who dont know there was a "nobody" group in the 70's called The Rubinoos that had a minor sucess with a song called "I want to be your boyfriend", avril changed the gender, updated the chords a litlte , and took a lawsuit right up her pretty lil ass LOL)
