WHAT ROCK STARS ARE THANKFUL FOR
2004

As you probably already know, Thanksgiving celebrates the day the turkey was invented. It’s also the annual time of year that we give thanks for what we have in life. As you’re eating turkey (or if you’re Rikki Rockett, eating a Tofurkey) this Thanksgiving, you might be wondering what your favorite rock stars are thankful for. Well, lucky for you, we just happen to have a list of all the things that Rock Stars, celebrities, and a few other things are thankful for this year!
