Just keep in mind, once you watch this video, the song will sound different forever more!

Rob Parissi founded Wild Cherry and is the lead singer/songwriter. Folks rocked up to their first concert and were shocked to see they were white boys (like when they first saw Elvis was white ...and the Righteous Bros. were white.. sorry, I'm getting carried away). They released about 4 or so albums, each one brilliant. Rob Parissi was a huge talent and still performs today and raises money for philanthropic causes.

Just wanted to say how much I was enjoying the Zac D and Ross L discussions on the AFL website. Really good value and deeply authentic communications between the two. Insightful.

And today I watched an hour long video of a fwit truck driver who didnt have the Queensland border pass so he decided ihe hadnt committed a crime and drove off. He got pulled over again, gave the copper grief, reinforcements came, end result? Truck was unregistered, drivers licence was expired. He agreed to fill out a border pass online, got fined for the other offences, WTF was the point? The imbecile then posted on FB the whole thing which he recorded, lets just say the comments werent favourable ;D  ;D Is it me? Am I the fwit?
