Re: Who I is.

I think the burnout was a result of the whole JC thing that kept many from returning.

Here, not only are interesting things of all sorts being discussed....but music...and Jazz.

It makes no sense. Stoli supports LBGT causes. Why would they care what anyone's sexuality happens to be?
