  1. Winger

    Winger is an American hard rock band formed in New York City that gained popularity during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band's two platinum albums, Winger and In the Heart of the Young, along with charting singles "Seventeen", "Headed for a Heartbreak" and "Miles Away", put the band on the top of the charts by the early 1990s. In 1990, the band was nominated for an American Music Award for "Best New Heavy Metal Band". As the music scene changed in the early to mid-1990s due to the popularity of grunge, the band faded after their third release Pull. The band broke up in 1994, but reunited in 2001 for several successful tours. In 2006, the band's 1993 touring line-up reunited to record the band's first studio album in over 13 years, IV, and toured in support of the album into 2008. In 2009, the band released their fifth album, Karma. As of 2013 Winger is still together as a band, they play together on mini tours, special gigs as well as private gigs.

    I know that Milton Winger's going to need further therapy, and so my training has made me cautiously optimistic in a way, because I know he still has a road to go, but, you know, I'm happy for him, because I know that he was very scared before the surgery... it was a relatively quicker surgery than we anticipated, we didn't have to do a reconstruction, and he did well.

    If you're a left-winger, which most ESPN employees are, the idea of comparing Chinese genocide to American controversial political issues seems like an equivalent position. It is not, there is no equivalent position in the United States to Chinese government-sponsored genocide. It is insane that anyone could think to make that case.

    I am a capitalist and I am a bit of a right winger, and I think in many ways the system we have got at the moment is really not a bad system. I think capitalism is a good thing. The only problem with capitalism is that it destroys the planet, and that it’s based on growth. I mean apart from those two little details it’s got a lot to be said in its favour.
