Oh the memories.       Beyond my being a customer...back in the 70's or so I was around a bar called       Champagne John's...in Wheeling....and we made some memories....one of the so       called owners...Jimmy Patten..said he owned Rush up....the only other person I       knew who was        affiliated with the bar was Bob? or Don?...Lolly.....all I know...and I am not       afraid of any of it...was that Cook County holds the highest banner of Holy       Shit time....and I loved it....I survived running in and out of the rain       drops....huggss...              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
