The best poke in Nagin's eye yet over the idiotic Chocolate City rant!

Good job "Vince"!

Rock & Roll on VVV!

Mkay, who can clear up this mystery? When my cuzzins and I and our neighbors were in high school at Francis T. Nicholls High School on St Claude Avenue, Vince Vance was Andrew John Franichevich Jr. Then Vince Vance became James Viator. Who was the REAL Vince Vance? I is confused!

Say whatt???? I thought Vince Vance and the Valiants started looong after yous got out of Nicholls! LIke 1971. Down at Your Father's Mustache. After Woodstock and the Sha Na Na splash. At that time, Vince Vance was a short jet-black Balboa guy in black leather jacket. I can't remember his name. This current VV was keyboards as "The Incredible Andy Stone". The other guy dropped out, and the current VV picked it up, and later got use of the name. Or something like that...

Used to love the free concerts they did for their rent in Forest Isle. Especially since my sister was bartender at the club...

EDIT:
Lots of wiki info here. Gotta love any guy with that Croatian heritage! Loved waking up to Bomb Iran back around Carter's short presidency!

Thanks for clearing it up, Oyster. The Wiki article helped, too.
