Wow! Someone else who knows who these guys were. I tend to forget that I'm 1 of the older folks prowling these threads & make references that probably make some scratch their collective heads.

And thanks to Cypoet's coaching I am able to post active links. Wish I could go back to correct some earlier posts.

He was an Ace
He played his face
And was full of grace
In a very small space
created great disgrace

don't mind me I really liked his art but no one would give a fart

I can't believe no one has mentioned ODB. Actually, since it seems like everyone in here listens to classic rock, maybe I shouldnt be surprised. Dirt McGurt, gone but not forgotten. Wu Tang Clan ain't nuttin' ta **** wid!
