This blog was created to give a glimpse into the various and sundry spectacular shenanigans of the community of musicians/supporters of Slingshot Records, LLC.
I see where pop culture now considers it a desired virtue to speak your mind in an “unfiltered” manner. I flipped by the TV Channel today and heard people hailing a character from “Lost”, and the lead character on “House” (which I enjoy) because they voice their thoughts - unfiltered.
Not that this is all […]
Reader beware: Read on an empty stomach… seriously.
