On This Day in History...
June 6, 1862 - Writing under the name of Mark Twain, Samuel Clemens begins publishing news stories in the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise.
Born in Missouri in 1835, Clemens followed a circuitous route to becoming an observer and writer of the American West. As a young man he apprenticed as a printer and worked in St. Louis, New York, and Philadelphia. In 1856, he briefly considered a trip to South America where he thought he could make money collecting coca leaves. A year later, he became a riverboat pilot apprentice on the Mississippi River, and worked on the water for the next four years.
In 1861, Clemens' brother Orion was appointed secretary to the territorial governor of Nevada. Clemens jumped at the offer to accompany Orion on his western adventure. He spent his first year in Nevada prospecting for a gold or silver mine but was no more successful than the vast majority of would-be miners. In need of money, he accepted a job as reporter for a Virginia City, Nevada, newspaper called the Territorial Enterprise. His articles covering the bustling frontier-mining town began to appear on this day in 1862. Like many newspapermen of the day, Clemens adopted a pen name, signing his articles with the name Mark Twain, a term from his old river boating days.

Rush is blacklisted. Blame KEGL the Eagle, they are the cause of it.

That's fine, as long as you ban Creed too. Blame VH1, every radio statin in the 90's and even MTV if you want. They are the cause of it. :)

While you guys are at it, you might as well add Nickleback to the list.

I don't mind Nickelback as much as most. I think 25% of their songs are pretty good, I like Photograph, and I gotta hand it to them.....they did a solid cover of this ZZ Top tune:

I haven't heard that song in probably 8 years. My guess is when you were getting sick of it, that was just after KEGL made me sick of Rush. I quit listening to the Eagle for some time. They must have been over playing Creed during that time. :laugh2: As for MTV and VH1, I seen them, not never really watched them.

As for Nickleback. I remember liking a song or two from them. I can't recall a single song they play right now though.
 
Take your pick to which one you like better, but for me. I like the Metallica version. Actually, they've covered several songs better than the original. James is a kick *** singer and Kirk is superbly talented. Not sure why Kirk doesn't get more credit than he does. I think he is easily one of the top 10 metal guitarists of all time.

Another cover that Metallica makes better. Why? James Hetfield >>> Burke Shelley

I play this song all the time at home on my guitar, but I never hear the song played except when I play it on Youtube. Great song by a very talented band. (Budgie)
