There’s a cool campaign happening right now. It’s called Clear The Shelters.

It’s a collaboration between SPCA Tampa Bay and WFLA News Channel 8. They are holding a nationwide pet adoption event. It’s going on from August 23rd through September 19th.

SPCA Tampa Bay Chief Marketing Officer Eric Keaton provides for introducing adopted animals to your family. “If you have a dog, bring them out for a proper introduction. Our volunteers and staff will help with that as well.”

People who adopt pets feel so much joy from their fury friends. If you are thinking about adopting a precious pet, you can find out more on the SPCA Tampa Bay website.

“I think adoptable friends make a great family friend. A lot of folks, when they release a dog out to us, they have different situations and that doesn’t mean anything on the animal. These are great animals that we have here,” Keaton said.

If you want to search for more information on the socials, check out @ClearTheShelter and hashtag #ClearTheShelters.

Rolling Stones and Other Band Origin Stories

• The Rolling Stones

  Share

  The Stones earliest beginnings can be traced back to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who were school friends when they both lived in Dartford, Kent, England. However, the two drifted apart due to Jagger and his family moving away to a different town, but the two would fatefully meet again about six year after the move on a platform at the Dartford Railway Station. The station even has a commemorative plaque on display at the station marking the historic moment.

• Motley Crue

  Share

  Sixx and Tommy Lee formed Motley Crue in 1981.  Shortly thereafter, the two came across Mick Mars’ infamous “Loud, rude and aggressive guitar player available” ad.  The weird kismet moment, of course, was that Sixx and Mars met before in a liquor store where Sixx worked as a cashier.  It’s all in The Dirt.  If you haven’t read it yet, shame on you!

• U2

  Drummer Larry Mullen, Jr., who was only 14 at the time, posted a note on a bulletin board at his high school saying he was looking for musicians to start a band.  Six people responded to the note, and among them were Paul Hewson (Bono), David Evans (The Edge) and Adam Clayton.  Who would have thought that a simple note would evolve into one of the biggest bands in history?
• Van Halen

  Share

  Obviously, this story starts with brothers Eddie and Alex, but those two came across David Lee Roth, because they would often rent his PA system.  Roth at that time was in a band called the Red Ball Jets.  The brothers Van Halen, in an effort to save money, asked Roth to join the band and bring his PA with him.  The rest is history.

• Nine Inch Nails

  Share

  NIN really came to be because Trent Reznor was a janitor at a recording studio whose owner let him record for free during open studio time.  The lesson?  Even if your job isn’t exactly in your desired field, you never know what might come from it.
