Everything my company makes, buys and sells is American (unless Tim doesn't h=
ave any choice). The jobs are real, the people are real. It matters.=20

How about our local Rockford boys Cheap Trick making the Rock and Roll Hall o=

h my head when the green flag drops -=20

So underrated - Green Day needs to pay homage to the riffs, and you can even=
 hear the influence of Cobain's snarl in Robin. They have been incredible in=
 helping this depressed area as best they can after manufacturing left here f=
or China over the past 3 decades. Could not happen to nicer people.=20
