Not to make light of it, but it was one man, one Angel who stabbed the guy, who they thought was going to jump on stage.

He was drug crazed and had already tried to get on stage and then came back with a gun. Pointing it toward the stage, the one Angel punched and stabbed him with a knife.

The stories have been so out there, I'm just finishing up a book written by Bill Wyman.

to mean the various times in American pop music when some random event happened to refocus tastes and attention to the next wave of pop music/culture or to abruptly end a certain artists style and create a vacuum for another to ascend.

I first heard "the last time" in a second story rec room of a baptist church in oklahoma city summer of 1965... and seen alot of shizzle in the ensuing years.

all just yesterdays papers.
