The Amazing, true story of this famous fowl dates back to September 10, 1945 when Mike, a young Wyandotte rooster, was about to become the dinner of Fruita, Colorado, farmer Lloyd Olsen.

sitting, smoking
killing time
climbing ladders
in my mind

seeking, finding

losing contact
sinking fast
joining shadows
now i'm alone…

ac/dc - back…

most of the data here is gleaned off the net when i was bored, stoned, and excited about electronic artists refusing to bestow their infinite wisdom and creativity on other artists' tunes…

too lazy to post the links, so google your way there if you have to… enjoy!

"Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, who else, even Janet Jackson, right now Busta Rhymes, but just for the reason, not that Busta is not cool, Busta is great, but just the song would be too Mickey Mouse, because the original was too slow and to put the vocals in…
