RIP Prince
Rest in Peace Prince. You were an amazing musician and one of the best guitar players that has ever lived! You will be missed and thanks for all of the music.
Here is his 2007 Superbowl Halftime show in Miami during a downpour of rain. It is considered to be the best Halftime Show ever.

We were parked in our favorite drinking and smoking location, which we had named Miller’s Crossing. I was the oldest of the group, and Leah was the youngest at sevent...

Top 3 Books Based or Set In Denver, Colorado

Famous authors from Jack Kerouac to Stephen King have used Denver and the beautiful state of Colorado as the setting of their novels. Here is a list of the top five book set in Denver.
The Stand – Stephen King
