vehicle by meprovine In honor of the Quincy Blue Devils 2009-2010 hoops season kicking off, here's a song the Quincy High Band plays before games at Blue Devil Gym .

As well they should. So what if Detroit’s unemployment rate is 28% and climbing, and a house in Detroit probably costs less than a new car. Quit whining! If Detroit residents weren’t so wrapped up in their own petty problems, they’d be more mindful of those needy Wall Street executives . It’s bad enough when an individual doesn’t notice something in the fine print and...

Has anyone heard the new Bill Champlin album "No Place Left To Fall? His solo music is fantastic! I got turned onto his music when I went to see Chicago recently (he just left the band after 28 years to pursue his solo career). Guess he’s been around a while as I found out that he co-wrote (and won a Grammies for…) “After the Love is Gone” by Earth, Wind & Fire and “Turn Your Love Around” by George
