I don't want to start a trend here where we all try to outdo Squire, so just take this for what it's worth.

Some people who didn't quite make it to '99

Johnny Moore, lead singer for The Drifters on their 1960s hit ``Under The Boardwalk,'' died Wednesday at 64.

Patty Hearsts' MOM

Peter Alenov Jr., who sold guitars to Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and other rock stars, died Wednesday in a car accident. He was 45.

Let's all be good Scouts and "Be Prepared" but remember each day is a gift and try to make the most of it. Hug your kid every chance you get without making like a dork, because when you get home with that 500 pound generator you may accidentaly drop it on her head.
