WWE TLC - No Tables No Ladders No Chairs?

Cos met Michael during his freshman year at St. Martin's University, and that summer the band known as String Theory was formed, which has slowly transformed into The Forgotten 45...

13 Questions With J Curly Speegle

1. Where are we talking from today?      A. I'm in Nashville, TN 2. Where did you get your artist name from? A. I was the lead guitarist for Rock & Roll Hall of fame Leon Russell from 2005 to 2007.  When I joined the band I had long curly hair.  Leon mentioned to me after a couple of gigs that he thought that  "I ought to have a power name".  Hence that day, I became J.

Well, Leon Russell obviously.  But there are a lot more that are pretty significant as well.  There is a gentleman by the name of Owen...
