As Robin Zander said on Live at Budokan,

"The first thing I did when I got to Japan was buy a Japanese guitar".  

i picture Jim doing the same thing for some reason.

I still think it's the ghost of Col. Tom Parker though...

How many days now BH?!!  :D

[Ruckus]

Here is Ruckus' translation.  Perhaps a Japanese reader or D'boy or his wife ( ;))wife can grade it for me.

In 1998, with Jim James and Two Tone Tommy as the centerpieces, this band from Louisville, Kentucky was formed.  In 1999, they released their debut album, Tennessee Fire, on Indie label Darla Records.  IN 2002, they added a keyboardist and released At Dawn.

In 2002, they added James' longtime childhood friend Patrick Callahan as their drummer and simultaneously signed to major label ATO Records.

In 2003, they released It Still Moves and went on tour with the Foo Fighters, thus increasing their exposure.  The same year, they also came to play in Japan.

In 2004, both their guitarist and keyboardist quit and following auditions, Carl Broemel and Bo Koster were added to the lineup, forming their lineup that exists to this day.

In 2005, teaming up with John Leckie, known for his work with the likes of Radiohead, the band released Z.  Shedding their reverb heavy, southern rock sound, they evolved to a more spacy, worldly sound.  Between touring with Pearl Jam and performing at the Fuji Rock festival in Japan, they continued to increase their global exposure.

In 2006, playing their 4th consecutive year at the Bonnaroo Festival, they played a spectacular 3 hour+ set reinforcing their reputation as a live tour-de-force.  To help show this, they released the live DVD Okonokos.

In 2007, they spent much of their time working on their new album Evil Urges with producer Joe Chiccarelli, though they still managed to find time to play shows at the likes of Lollapalooza and Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit.

They are currently at their peak both in the US and abroad and it is a matter of time before they are a world class act.

What, no mention of Woody Allen or Ernest Borgnine?!!

Hmm I think you might need to go back to Japanese school Ruckus  ;)

You're right about the need to go back to school!

That being said, I seriously would love to know how I did.  I think I particularly blew the last sentence and just made some stuff up.  I recognized a good bit of the characters but i guess it just says how awesome they are
