Guns N' Roses Bring A Free Dr Pepper

My old school friends and I were big Guns N' Roses fans from 6^th grade on. I probably head-banged for the first time to Appetite for Destruction on a boy scout camp out. Later would come Helloween, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith and many others. But first and foremost for several years was GN'R.

You probably know the story. The band has been in and out of the limelight's edge for the last fifteen years. Only one of the original band members --the very personable and friendly Axl Rose-- is still active. But it's been long years since the release of a new album of original material. There has been one in the works the whole time, but it has been many times delayed from being released. Until yesterday.

All that you probably knew. What you might not have known was that the senior marketing team at Dr. Pepper made a promise that they'd give a free can of their soda to every American if GN'R released their album before the end of 2008. And I don't think they honestly thought it would happen. But it has! You can learn more information at the article on MTV Newsroom. However, if you want to sign up for your coupon you only have a few hours left. Originally, the coupon sign-up form was only going to be available for 24 hours. But they've extended it until 6PM EST today. Go!

is called "In My Heart." It's slated for release on my upcoming record, "Out from the Light." It's about the first girl I was ever in love with. Kinda bitter, but kinda fun, too. :)

Angel of Light - Derek Brink [mp3]

From DerekBrink.com

It's largely about the piety of the church and how hypocritical some Christians are willing to be. There are so many people out there who think they have ALL the answers, and don't allow for any difference in theology. Satan often..
