Hi Brian, been away from the radio for a couple of weeks on Sunday mornings. Greetings from the forest, listening while waiting for my friend to wake up and come downstairs.Gota's HEad Soup was about the last Stones album where I at least liked some of the songs.

What am I missing …?, if I was to admit that I dislike Perry Ferrell’s vocals & vibe.
I enjoy all sorts of wacko vocalists: Keneth Higney, Jad Fair, Mayo Thompson, Daniel Johnston, Geddy Lee, Robert Plant, David Thomas, swamp dogg, etc … oh well.

@ Don: shant we not start me up on The Rolling Stones preferences gambit … granted “It’s only RnR”1974 is a dud - yet Black&Blue & definitely Some Girls gots loads of fun & songs in them. Among even latter albums.

one detail that popped into my sleep addled head that hasn't been covered yet is how the children are getting the guns, are they using parents' guns or obtaining them on their own

It's a valid question. Abene's work focuses mostly on how the gun violence affects young bystanders, if you will, not the shooters.

another thing about gun violence, esp. for teens is the adrenalin rush when you pull the trigger, its like another kind of drug and a rite of passage.
