Wowa, the lead singer has one crazy look!
Hey, your blog is really cool, good work! I was thinking
if we could exchange links, I think it would be very benefic to us
both... Anyway, I've already added your blog to my blog list at
http://footballisthebestest.blogspot.com and I'd be really grateful
if you could please add my blog to yours! Thank you very much! And sorry if I should have put this elsewhere but you just put an youtube video over the part where you say what people should do for link exchange, so...
Those flashlights Houston is handing out can't be all that strong or I expect many a Galaxy player getting lights flashed in their eyes... Which could make for an awesome disaster.

For some strange reason, I just flashed back to 2001.
I remember watching this in '73! thanks for bringing it back.
