Les Paul Gives $50,000 to Wis. Hometown

Most people don't know that Les Paul, probably the single most important individual in the history of rock music (hard to rock out without the electric guitar), is a Wisconsin native. Recently the 91 year old icon announced he was donating $50,000 to his hometown of Waukesha.
" ...we must all own
up that without Les
Paul, generations
of flash little punks
like us would be in
jail or cleaning toilets."

- Keith Richards
