Cover Songs: P.O.S. - "Why Go" (by Pearl Jam)

If I was to rewind back to 1992 and look at the CDs that I listened to over and over again and again, Pearl Jam's "Ten" would have been one the top of the list. Fast forward to 2009 and they ave re-released the CD in multiple formats with all sorts of new material. MTV2 in an effort to help promote the the album asked hip-hip artist, P.O.S. to perform a cover of "Why Go." I found the cover to be quite interesting... Enjoy.

Shots Fired @ The Record Bar in KCMO on 3/7/09

I drove up to Kansas City this past weekend to watch the Shots Fired "Reunion" concert on Saturday night. Here's some of the videos through out the night.

FPU Class

To those who may not know, I have been teaching a weekly class called, Financial Peace University. It is a video based course taught by radio host / author, Dave Ramsey. It has been a wonderful experience. We are almost half way done with the 13 week class with an average attendance of 50 to 55 people a week. I have been extremely impressed with how motivated a few in the class have become.

During a time when the economy has become unpredictable, the class teaches common sense. It has been rewarding.

More updates ahead...

Weird Concerts From My Past: Incubus & Far 4/4/1998

Back in 1998, Darci and I drove from Manhattan, KS to Lawrence, KS one weekend to simply get out of town and go record shopping. Much to my delight the band Incubus was playing an early show at The Bottleneck. Being a fan of The Urge I had already been introduced to Incubus, but had never seen them in concert, so we went. There were four bands playing that evening, Incubus, Ultraspank, 8 Degrees, and much to my surprise.... Far.

The show was not well attended, only about 30 people through the door. Far was amazing and the singer from Incubus definitely had some vocal chops. Darci was fascinated by the dreadlocks that he was sporting at the time. Incubus was touring in support of their album, "S.C.I.E.N.C.E." One of the items I left the concert with that was pretty humorous was a cardboard mask of the dude from their album cover. One year later Incubus was practically a household name with the success of the album "Make Yourself."

I found the setlist online:

Redefine / Magic Medicine / A Certain Shade Of Green / Hilikus / Vitamin / Idiot Box / Summer Romance / Favorite Things / Glass / Calgone / You Will Be A Hot Dancer / New Skin
