We snap into a slim jim in your honor.  He died this morning of a heart attack behind the wheel.  Read the story from TMZ here.

Mike Ness is cooler than you.  And me and everyone I know actually.  One of my favorite bands of all time is coming to the National tonight.  Tickets are still on-sale for tonight's Social Distortion show.  Unlike most bands whose music seems to get worse over time, Social Distortion keeps delivering release after release. Their new album, "Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes" is a solid set from one of the pioneers of Cailfornia punk.  Even though the line-up has changed through the years, Ness and company never stray too far from that signature sound.  See you at the show tonight.  Check out the wikipedia entry on Social D here.  It's an interesting read.

The 2nd edition of the Rockstar Uproar Tour will feature Avenged Sevenfold as headliners.  Opening acts include Three Days Grace, Seether, Bullet For My Valentine, escape the fate, Sevendust and Art Of Dying.  Dates and venues to be announced soon.

It's the band's way of saying goodbye to Jimmy who died of a drug overdose in December 2009.
