Well shit, way to destroy my trust in the man in black and his guidance throughout my life. Now everytime I see a ring of fire I'm gonna have to make sure it's actually a closed circle. And my love of statler brothers is completely up in the air now, he gave them their start. If he was lying, were they telling the truth? Note on the statler, I made a finished room in our basement (statlers is my work music) so behind one of the stub walls its painted "are you washed in the blood of the lamb?" I figured some future owner will have a weird moment when they find that.
