I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in February 2010. (I’ve written about that ordeal several times.) After a four-day slog, our little group was finally at 19,000 feet, just a few hours away from reaching the apex, and feeling pretty good about our accomplishment, when we were passed by a man with crutches and prosthetic legs…
That was Kilimanjaro. The following story is about another man that did the same thing – but on Mount Everest, which is, at 29,000 feet, 9,000 feet higher than Kilimanjaro!

Earlier this year, Rolling Stone magazine published its list of “the top 200 rock & roll singers of the last 100 years.” In presenting the list, the editors pointed out that these are the greatest singers, not necessarily the greatest voices.
I had fun going through it, and so I linked to it below, hoping you’ll enjoy it, too. The first 50 names on the list did not surprise or disappoint me. Nor do I think they will surprise or disappoint you. Some of the names ranked from 50 1o 100 were surprising, and there were a few I disagreed with. From 101 to 200, there were many I didn’t know. (But I’d like to get to know.) See what you think. Click here.
