    I know they are playing next month with Howard Jones and The Fixx at The Orange County Fair here in L.A. . I really do not want to see Mr. Jones. Never really was into The Fixx.

        Thanks Shannon.

        I dig Mr. Edward Bunker. I just started getting into his books after years of seeing some around. My homeboy turned me on to him and said I would dig them.

        Growing up in L.A. I dig how he writes about how it was back in the days like the 40's and 50's. When L.A. had style, and not Star "Give Me Your" Bucks everywhere! LOL!

        So what were "The Pleased" like?

        Got a website?

        Thanks!

        Cheers, Tim

          i've done the same. seen his books around and haven't gotten to reading them. even checked out, "dog eat dog". i never got around to reading it. what do you recommend i start with? i've read some interviews with his POV on the three strikes laws in cali.

          to live and die in la, (thanks wang chung), not my fate. i moved out of there in 97'. i do miss some things. the marketing, nope.

          also,

          www.thepleased.com/

          i buy so few opening band's cd's. this was a keeper. don't i make a great cheerleader? lol. in regards to their sound, it's hard for me to categorize.

            I am reading his memoirs "Education Of A Felon" and it is really good. I actually have only read "Little Boy Blue" just recently. You should start with that because he was a kid. I am going to read "Animal Factory" soon.

            Thanks for the link!

            I will check em' out.:)
