| Chubby Checker | | How well do we remember Chubby Checker and "the Twist?" Had the opportunity last year to see him in person at a local casino with friends. He put on a terrific performance and also had a photo session before the show. | |
| | Sing a long. | | What kind of music did you grow up listening to? Who did you adopt it from? Do you still listen to the same type of music? How were you excepted growing up because of the music you listened to.I grew up listening to the same music as my dad. I was and still am a metal head. When I was a kid I would always hand out with my dad and listen to Metallica, Megadeath, Korn, Rage against the machine, etc. We were pretty hardcore. Those bands still bring back memories for me. When I was growing up I was considered a bad kid, hardcore, stoner kind because of the music I listened to and how I dressed. When I started high school I changed a little bit but what I started listening to became and still is a fad. Emo kids, scene kids, ugh. Thats what I was considered and still am considered from time to time. I still listen to whatever music I want to but I have changed the way I dress so you cant judge that part of me. | |

| Drug benefit expanded to 1 million more seniors | | i research about this drug benefit and it is so cool..
The prospect of nearly $4,000 in prescription assistance is not enough to perk
up low income seniors. The Government is using 60's singer Chubby checker to publicize
"the twist" in the medicare drug program..that is so great! | |
