Not So Innocent Words

I can’t say I like Adam Lambert, then again I can’t say I don’t like him either considering I’ve never heard his music. But considering he was on “American Idol,” I am pretty sure I wouldn’t be into his music

You might remember hearing Buffalo Tom’s song “Soda Jerk” in a Pontiac car commercial years ago or if you watched “My So-Called Life” you might remember their song “Late At Night” in one of the episodes where Angela Chase obsesess over Jordan Catalno or something along those lines.

It's a sketchy ride, but we'll get you there.

Steven Tyler and Joe Perry back in the saddle again.
