Why we can't have peace in the Middle East
by KEITH
It's no secret that lots of the trouble in the world comes when people just can't get along.
At the day job, we're continually getting memos about cleaning up our small kitchenette. Seems no one wants to clean up after themselves!
That makes me wonder: if our small office can't keep our kitchen clean, and everyone gets so mad at each other over this, how can we ever get to peace in the MIddle East?

*David Gilmour over Roger Waters?
Well, there is probably no other lyricist better than Roger Waters but
Mr. G is a major influence sonically. Put Roger to # 6

**I am cheating with the Beatles but I don't want to pull out one over the other. I like George material as much as the others and even Ringo. If I have to choose, I give a slight edge to John since I can cover his songs better than the other lads. I think it's more of an emotional connection with the material that makes it so.
More on Sheryl and Chris.
Returnees to the page may note that Tom Petty has "fallen" (any Free Fallin' fans out there?) down off the list. I moved to KT Tunstall for two reasons: The "wee bastard" looper she uses so well and the beauty of her songs. But, hey, Tom is still around in the thought process. Certainly in the top 10!

Thanks to the influences I actually know in person
by KEITH
I got to thinking about the influences of people I actually know or have known.
Why not put them down in a list to say thank you? After all, I actually met them in the flesh. So, because I can, I will ...
Ah, but now, we've expanded the list to include Honourry Whiners everywhere.
And we've moved the list to the Whiners wiki, where you can add yourself in the comments section.
See if you are listed or add yourself to the list!
