The 13-track recording, produced by Paul
Ebersold (3 Doors Down, Saliva), was initially released by Roadrunner Records

purchases." In its 4K review, the magazine called the record "rock music
at its uplifting, unpretentious best�with psychedelic harmonies, feel-good

Slapp of the Day: Bill O'Reilly |
Bill O'Reilly cost me $300 this past weekend. I was forced to fork over my not so hard earned dollars to buy a TV for my bedroom because of Bill O'Reilly. You see my roommates have an unhealthy obsession with Mr O. Every night at 5:00 (PST) we can't watch real TV because for some reason my roommates just have to watch this vapid excuse for a political talk show. I bitched and bitched to try and get them to change the channel but it was no use, they have become Billdroids. They're lame excuse that they are just killing time until Dennis Miller comes on doesn't wash with me.
Why do I dislike Bill O'Reilly so much? What's to like? I think Bill has enough love for himself that there is no room for anyone else in the world to love him.
