I did the funky chicken with this man when he played in a music bar in Glasgow in the 90's (it was called the Brewhouse I think, previously John Street Jam). What a nite, and what energy that man had, even at his age then!!!

in 2003 there was a boy named Link, and his friends at school were bullying him and laughing at him because his name was the same as a game character. Half a year later he was found in the kitchen with a knife. He had slit his throat. If you don't put this on 3 videos in 10 minutes, he will stab you with the knife in your neck while you're asleep
