RIP Pete Steele

Goth metal isn't the usual Live Drive fare, but metal fans the world over, Pam included, were saddened to hear of the death on Wednesday of Pete Steele, lead singer of the band Type O Negative. RIP Pete.

As Homer Simpson would say...

Mmmm, Fuse...


Leon "Santa" Russell


Meet our new Live Drive hero. His name is Leon Russell. His speciality is country, but he is also a purveyor of the folk, rock and R&B genres. He looks like how Santa Claus would look if he gave him aviator sunglasses and a 10 gallon stetson, ie. fantastic.
