now we know jon - the truth is out.
i mean... has anyone EVER seen you and phil in the same
place at the same time? yeah... didn't think so.
so tell us: what the hell happened with "leftoverture"?


wow! livgren really turned up? that's really cool!

b movie was a one hit wonder eurosynthpop band.
we did an awful show that night if i recall.
