Billy Eugene Owens (born May 1, 1969, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania) is an American former professional basketball player.

As a high school senior, Owens averaged 34 points per game, and helped lead Carlisle High School (Pennsylvania) to four consecutive state titles. He was considered to be the second best prep player of 1988, behind Alonzo Mourning. Owens and Mourning were co-MVP's in the McDonalds' Game.

He played for the US national team in the 1990 FIBA World Championship, winning the bronze medal.[1]

As a 6' 9" small forward/shooting guard from Syracuse University, he was selected by the Sacramento Kings in the 1991 NBA Draft. However, after Owens remained a holdout beyond the start of the regular season, he was traded to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for high-scoring guard Mitch Richmond.[2] Although the trade was considered lopsided by some, Owens gave the Warriors much-needed size and rebounding. He averaged over 15 points and nearly eight rebounds over his first three seasons with Golden State. Owens spent ten seasons with the Warriors, Miami Heat, Sacramento Kings, Seattle SuperSonics, Philadelphia 76ers, and Detroit Pistons before a string of injuries finally took its toll.

    So What? (Anti-Nowhere League song)

    "So What?" is a song written by the British punk band the Anti-Nowhere League. The song first appeared as the B-side of the band's debut 7" single "Streets of London", in 1981.

    History and controversy

    The song was written, according to the band, after sitting in a pub one night and hearing two men try to out do each other with stories of past experiences. The song is therefore a retort to people who tell embellished stories to make themselves appear better than the other person they are in conversation with.

    The obscene lyrical content of the song caused the British police to seize all copies of the single from the band's distributors under the Obscene Publications Act and remove all copies from sale . The word "fuck" appeared in the first line of the song. The song has subsequently been appended to various CD reissues of the We Are... The League album and has become somewhat of an anthem for the band. Lyrics in the song include references to bestiality (I fucked a sheep/I fucked a goat...) and acquiring sexually transmitted diseases (I've had the crabs, I've had the lice/I've had the clap...).

    So What! (magazine)

    So What! is the magazine of The Metallica Club (usually known as Metclub), the official Metallica fan club. The magazine was started in 1981. It comes out four times a year just for club members and has 48 pages with Metallica news, photos and inside information. The title of the magazine came from their cover of Anti-Nowhere League's song "So What".

    The band, along with So What! editor Steffan Chirazi released the 273 page book So What!: The Good, The Mad and The Ugly in 2004. This piece was a proverbial "best of" and contained some of the most noteworthy articles, pictorials, and interviews that the magazine has featured in more than a decade. The book also gave the general public its first non-membership look at the Metallica club and the quarterly release of its fan club magazine.

    So What

    by: Ani Difranco

    who's gonna give a shit
    who's gonna take the call
    when you find out that the road ahead
    is painted on a wall
    and you're turned up to top volume
    and you're just sitting there in pause
    with your feral little secret
    scratching at you with its claws
    and you're trying hard to figure out
    just exactly how you feel
    before you end up parked and sobbing
    forehead on the steering wheel
    who are you now
    and who were you then
    that you thought somehow
    you could just pretend
    that you could figure it all out
    the mathematics of regret
    so it takes two beers to remember now
    and five to forget
    that i loved you so
    yeah, i loved you, so what
    how many times undone
    can one person be
    as they're careening through the facade
    of their favorite fantasy
    you just close your eyes slowly
    like you're waiting for a kiss
    and hope some lowly little power
    will pull you out of this
    but none comes at first
    and little comes at all
    and when inspiration finally hits you
    it barely even breaks your fall
    who were you then
    and who are you
    now that you can't pretend
    that you can figure it all out
    subtract out the impact
    and the fall is all you get
    so it takes two beers to remember now
    and three more to forget
    that i loved you so
    yeah, i loved you, so what
    i loved you
