It has come to this reporters attention that the real reason David Lee Roth left Van Halen was not creative differences. He threatened to announce to the world that Van Halen were members of P.O.W.E.R.S. He was forced out of Van Halen and P.O.W.E.R.S. then derailed his career. They can get to anyone!

With long time Treasurer Gene Simmons, money is no issue for the secret society of P.O.W.E.R.S.!

Wardpike · August 24th, 2009, 10:24 AM

Gene's "wife" is actually a girl from Newfoundland. Yes, Shannon Tweed hails from just 40 minutes away from me. (no joke there, the most beautiful women in the world come from here)

They were all back home here a couple of years ago. Shannon stocked up on puffy shirts whilst here, to make sure Mr. Simmons was always properly attired for P.o.W.E.R.S. meetings.

castpolymer · August 24th, 2009, 10:31 AM

Yes, it is true.

castpolymer · August 24th, 2009, 01:55 PM

This is the first confirmed female member of P.O.W.E.R.S.

I took this photo in Vegas at Caesars palace.

The polka dotted purveyor of the blues is a charter member of P.O.W.E.R.S.

Also a Charter member is John "Dillion" Vinci of the band The Illusion and importer of Dillion USA guitars

Easily the most shocking member of P.O.W.E.R.S.!

castpolymer · August 24th, 2009, 11:03 PM

This gentleman was the youngest ever inductee into P.O.W.E.R.S. He was actually born wearing the puffy shirt!

beep.click · August 24th, 2009, 11:21 PM

I am not now wearing, nor have I ever worn, a puffy shirt.

(I think I see now, just where my career went wrong...)

Why were there so many puffy shirts at Ms. Tweeds disposal in St. John's in the first place? Are they popular with the Townies?

ibobunot · August 24th, 2009, 11:38 PM

And what's better than a puffy shirt?

A Renaissance Bodice....

Despite his obvious penchant for the puffy shirt, this gentleman has been consistantly denied membership into P.O.W.E.R.S.

Those that lived in Chicago during the sixties will no doubt remember the New Colony Six.

Now if you want to get into the "Puffy Pants Conspiracy", it was NOT started by MC Hammer!

Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys were 40 to 50 years ahead of Mr. Hammer with the Puffy Pants fashion craze.

Let's hope Rory's famously destructive sweat gave this shirt a very short stage life.
