Considering I was in a car accident this morning (ok, it was just a fender bender) I'm luck to be here.

life as a stand-up comedian. He also has an American flag guitar. Sorry Bruce, I think this man has got you beat on the 'Born in the USA' thing. ]]></description><guid>http://mockconvention.com/the-hill38</guid></item></channel></rss>
