Shoes of local and national rock n' rollers. It all started one day when we were sitting around talking about how much we love each other, how much we love rock n roll, and how much we love shoes, when Amy exclaimed "That's IT!!! We need to make a web site that combines our love of rock n roll and shoes.

I think these two have the words "need" and "want" confused. But they get extra points for the lime green background that makes me want to go eat sherbert.

But at least they don't take themselves very seriously and that's good.

How can they fail to bring up "Hang up My Rock'n Roll Shoes" by Chuck Willis (especially the Band's version)?

A friend of mine's father from McComb, Mississippi, was a doctor that often worked with the local sheriff's department and coroner's office. Late one night in 1977 the family was awakened by a phone call and the father rushed off with his medical bag into the night. The family returned to bed but in the morning the father was still in bed. Upon the mantle, where they have sat ever since, was the evidence of what the father had rushed off for, a gift from the sheriff and coroner for his hard work.

On the mantle were a pair of gaudy, bright red, bejeweled cowboy boots. Embossed on the right boot in jewels was the word Lynyrd on the left, Skynyrd.

It's mostly a bunch of pictures of sneakers. I was hoping for stuff like Kiss's platforms or 999's brothel-creepers. These kids today, they have no style. I blame that Cobain guy.
