He's extremely talented... maybe not a Cameron, but with great potential. Take it easy on trashing people just to make who you like look good.

Kim is working with Sean Kinney and Krist Novoselic(Did i spell that right?), on a song for a Willie Nelson tribute album. Johnny Cash is doing the vocals on this song. Strange, huh?

As for Ben, well, we've got to attribute his "strangeness" to something. I think it's probably from some spinal disease he has acquired from dragging his bass across the stage so many times. What do you think? Meter Man On Fri, 15 Sep 1995 MoonDruid@aol.com wrote: > > While we're at it...

It was done (in the 1940s, I believe) by a famous blues musician named Chester Burnett, Some of you might know him as "Howlin' Wolf." Led Zeppelin used to play "Smokestack" as an intro to "The Lemon Song" when they played it in concert.
