GetBack Top 10 Musicians: 1969
Tommy James & the Shondells -- the very mention of their name, even
to someone who doesn't really know their music, evokes images of dances
and the kind of fun that rock & roll represented before it
redefined itself on more serious terms. And between 1966 and 1969, the
group enjoyed 14 Top 40 hits, most of which remain among the most

She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"
bhig bhil said "I was watching Young Frankenstien, when we thought about Terri Garr and then Bernadette Peters, as comedieenes. Then I wondered what happened to Bernadette? Well, I have found out that she is well and is still a hottie at 61. My God The Woman Looks Good! Her and Andie MacDowell have that Hair, that beautiful frizzy wonderful Hair! Go Girl"

What's the most important is that you don't have to be a millionaire, but you can meet one. BTW, Charlie Sheen found his true love on that site in 2007."

The music created a conduit of flow from where ever you were to where ever you were going. Summer time was so sweet and innocently exciting and the music magnified it one thousand times. I can still smell those days in my mind. I would live these days over and over for eternity because they were so real and so unique.

I miss some of the music of that era, but most of it was trite.
