David Hidalgo, Jr
David (; , "beloved one") was a king of ancient Israel and Judah and the third king of the United Monarchy, according to the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament. The Tel Dan stele, an Aramaic-inscribed stone erected by a king of Aram-Damascus in the late 9th/early 8th centuries BCE to commemorate a victory over two enemy kings, contains the phrase (), which is translated as "House of David" by most scholars. The Mesha Stele, erected by King Mesha of Moab in the 9th century BCE, may also refer to the "House of David", although this is disputed. According to Jewish works such as the ''Seder Olam Rabbah'', ''Seder Olam Zutta'', and ''Sefer ha-Qabbalah'' (all written over a thousand years later), David ascended the throne as the king of Judah in 885 BCE. Apart from this, all that is known of David comes from biblical literature, the historicity of which has been extensively challenged,Writing and Rewriting the Story of Solomon in Ancient Israel; by Isaac Kalimi; page 32; Cambr ...

Sex, Love And Rock 'n' Roll
''Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll'' is the sixth studio album by American punk rock band Social Distortion. It's their first album in eight years, since the release of '' White Light, White Heat, White Trash'' in 1996. It was originally scheduled for release in the fall of 2000, but wasn't completed, not being released until September 28, 2004. This album is Social Distortion's first to feature guitarist Jonny Wickersham, following the death of Dennis Danell in February 2000. The opening track, "Reach for the Sky", was released as a single in late 2004, becoming one of the band's biggest hits. Social Distortion couldn't make a follow-up to ''White Light, White Heat, White Trash'' due to various activities, most obviously those of frontman Mike Ness's solo career, releasing two solo albums in 1999, one with original material, '' Cheating at Solitaire'', and one cover album, '' Under the Influences''. Touring for these projects, and matters pertaining to Danell's death, set the album ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dennis Danell
Dennis Eric Danell (June 24, 1961 – February 29, 2000) was an American guitarist who was a founding member of the Southern California punk rock band Social Distortion. Biography Danell joined Social Distortion in 1979 while he and frontman Mike Ness attended Troy High School (Fullerton, CA) together. Mike recruited him to play guitar despite not yet knowing how to play an instrument. Due to this, the other members, Casey Royer and Rikk Agnew left as they did not want to wait for him to learn. When Social Distortion recorded its first single in 1981, ''Mainline/Playpen'', Danell was the bassist, choosing this because it was "easier to play. I only had to hit single notes rather than forming chords". Shortly after the brief bass stint, Danell switched to guitar after Ness taught him how to play. His steady, melodic playing helped define the group's signature jangle on such albums as ''Mommy's Little Monster'' (1983), ''Prison Bound'' (1988), ''Social Distortion'' (1990), ''So ...
