Huh, he went to Bates.  I wouldn't have pegged Corey as an alumnus of that joint.

Resurrecting a dead thread to share this unbelievable story-

Cricket team heads for Everest

They plan to play cricket on a frozen lake and broadcast it live. Hope all goes well.

Oh man, I think it's the right time to start taking helicopter rescue training courses.

I wonder if they've been training on the indoor rock climbing wall at their local mall?

Ew boy. Several years ago the actual Corey Harris was interviewed on the radio show I produce, and he proved to be a FWD at all times. Years later I heard the Corey Harris/Mother 13 stuff and had to appreciate the name choice, however accidental/coincidental.

Chrysta,

You've got me confused with your FWD description of Mr. Harris.

"Four wheel drive" doesn't make sense.

The urban dictionary said it could mean "F%#@-able when drunk".  Which kind of fits but I don't think that's what you mean either.

Please clarify.

I do like Corey but I don't own any of his records.

What would you recommend?


Thanks,
Fredericks

Wow, a reply from Fredericks! I'm starstruck.

Anyway, crack a Best Show archive much? Don't sound like you do, because FWD = factory wrapped douche, which (if memory serves) first appeared in the short-lived Factory Wrapped Douche Of The Week feature. Hate Pit Lite, perhaps.

As for the real Corey Harris, maybe you'd enjoy his African/early blues-inspired Mali To Memphis? I think that's the title. But I can't vouch for the music quality since I'm not a fan.
