Leader of the Seeds, then just a freak.  Someone on the board said the other day they liked his name.

Webster gave Sky his props circa 9:20 this morning.  Specifically saying that his passing should not be overshadowed by you-know-whose.

spent a couple of days in KPIG-land, down in Pacific Grove, and heard Pushin' Too Hard this morning.  Kind of odd, but relaxing to not be inundated with Michael Jackson.

Pushing Too Hard makes me nervous.   it's a great song, but it makes me tense.
