According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

STRYPER frontman Michael Sweet has blasted the common misconception that "all rock stars are rich." The 61-year-old musician, who was born in California but currently resides in Massachusetts, addressed the challenges facing musicians and songwriters in today's competitive music industry in a social media post on Friday (July 5). He wrote: "Music is an extremely tough business. If you're not tough, you'll never make it in this business. Or at least, you won't go far. It takes hard work, disipline and determination. Relentless. Even then, it's not easy. A constant up and down battle of trying to balance everything. Spending money to make money, making money to spend money. Balancing budgets and trying to constantly and continuously makes things work financially. And even if you are very successful, you must still be very cautious and smart. Invest, save, budget. Don't make the mistake of 'living like a rock star'. Live modestly and think about the future.
