As a judge at the Ontario Wine Awards, I distinctly rememember giving a Gold Medal recommendation and npoints (over 90) to Deep Purple in the Rock Band category. So what happened? Is the fix in????
Yo Dean:
You be right. Deep Purple did get 91 points, but most of the judges said they'd rather hear Stairway to Heaven slightly more often than Smoke on the
H2O.
Hello Deacon Doctor Fresh
I am an avid and eager reader of your majestic ramblings. I would like to tithe 10% of my income to further your kingdom.
Please advise.
Your disciple,
Hoist
