" The singer/guitarist started going crazy on stage during one of their closing songs. Crazy like, he was running around stage, running into the bassist and their equipment. He jumped on his small little amp for about a second before the amp gave-way and slipped out from under him. Needless to say he landed on his ass in the middle of stage."- KineticsDirect.com
"The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax."-Albert Einstein
