    I'll bet they do, as well as many other companies. It's a minority promo thing, I believe. I could be wrong, however. And I don't mean race, I mean gender....jsyk~!!
    Prime gets some government bonus for hiring women.... or so I've heard. ;) They've got a few. So does WST. I know women at BOTH companies that actually train, nowadays!!! More $ for the company, more $ for the ladies!! :)

    Give it Away is about love. It's a play on words to sound like sex (can't spell double entendres-lol), but it's all about love. Love of al kinds, family, friends, spouse etc etc.

    Kinda genius really. Actually, that whole album is incredible. Every song from start to finish. Even "sir physco sexy" ;-)

    Pretty much what I told her. I LOVE that stuff. I know, I'm odd for an old guy, but...it works for me, LoL!

    That was when the chilis ROCKED! I saw them in a bar on south street in Philly when Hillel Slovak was still alive. They were about 17 years old- short hair, no tats. Wildest thing I've ever seen in my life. Totally by accident.

    Now if they aren't writing about cali it sucks. Lol

    They also have a lot of under paid drivers from what I know.

    I know, they've changed. I listen to the old stuff; they were the bomb. They were opening for I don't know WHO in CLE when I was in my mid/early 30's......man, shixes changes. Dang good song tho, man. All about interpretation.
    Anymore, most songs are geared to S E X. . . . hard to find ANY other meaning.... sad.

    I did a year with them, because I needed the OTR experience to get on LineHaul. They weren't stellar in their pay back then, either.

    Sliding pay scales make no earthly sense.
