Ok I will admit walked into this wanting to totally bash this beverage. Then this malt liquor hit my lips. I bought this beverage on a goof and surprised myself, I like Dragon Joose.   I was in my new favorite high-end beer store. It borders one of the most urban communities in Massachusetts: Lowell Mass.

For some unknown reason, they thought it would be a good idea to break this season’s houseguests up into four, well known high school cliques: Popular, Brains, Athletes, and Off-Beat.

Listening to the original Woodstock 3 LP vinyl set (later reissued on a double CD), one heard this rendition of "Dance To The Music"  that was lifted along with the MEDLEY: Music Lover/Higher to comprise track 4 on CD 2 after iconic farmer Max Yasgur speaks.  It was a dynamic slice of the Woodstock festival which now, thanks to...

The GrooGrux King is a paradox. It is the return to some of classic song writing ala “Under the Table and Dreaming” or “Beyond These Crowded Streets”.
