Aloha Friday, Gang Green Gangsters! Am I just me, or was it not a great relief to find out that the Jets who were arrested and cut were not DeMario Davis and David Harris? Anyway, here are your links for today...

And lastly, I would just like to say rest in peace to Jeff Hanneman, one of the best guitar players ever. I used to listen to Slayer all the time so it was pretty shocking and sad to find out that he has passed. I thought it was pretty cool that their singer was of Chilean descent and their drummer was of Cuban descent.
