    Jason Everman's story has been floating around for a few years. It's a bit of a human interest piece but it's also an interesting story if you haven't seen it. Life takes some folks strange places.

    Wow that was really interesting, thanks for posting!

    I bet all the kids that did undergraduate courses with him had no idea they were studying with a former member of Nirvana/Soundgarden [and sadly, these days they probably wouldn't have cared]

    I just posted a brief story about him on FB this morning... talk about a real American hero... From shredding on the guitar to mowing down Taliban. From this to this:
    "There is no news in the truth, and no truth in the news."
    "The revolution will not be televised... Instead it will be filmed from multiple angles via cell phone cameras, promptly uploaded to YouTube, Tweeted about, and then shared on Facebook, pending a Wi-Fi connection."
