i love it, what's more american than guns, fast cars, harmonicas and pot? i find the below quote to be absolutely hilarious,
Popper, who lives in Snohomish, Washington, is the owner of the vehicle, which was being driven by Brian Gourgeois, 34, of Austin, Texas, said state patrol Trooper Jeff Sevigney. The vehicle also had flashing emergency headlights, a siren and a public address system, the Patrol said.

"Popper indicated to troopers that he had installed these items in his vehicle because (in the event of a natural disaster) he didn't want to be left behind,"

don't tread on john popper motherfuckers!!!

Don't piss off Popper. Side note, if any of you are Ryan Adams fans Popper's sister was crazy old Ryan's bassist in the Cardinals.

I've seen him play harmonica faster than that!

Is he taking driving lessons from Trey? :lol:

BTW: Popper was not driving. Also: The guns apparently were legal (they were not charged, only with possession of dope and something to smoke it with...oh and driving way too fast ... since Popper wasn't driving, he won't be charged with that). I think if you look closely, one of the guns is a pipe. :mrgreen:

Another thing I didn't know:
some nameless AP writer wrote:Popper recently formed a group called The John Popper Project with DJ Logic, which released an album in 2006 and is scheduled to go on the road later this month.
Now aren't we glad he got busted? What better way to pump up his upcoming tour with DJ Logic??? Brilliant!!!
