The Offsprings
1. Biography
The Offspring took its first steps when in 1984 some friends named Dexter Holland and Greg Kiegel, who played in a small group called 'Manic Subcidal', joined their careers to that of a Noedles and a drummer named Ron Welty. Then they decided to change the name of the group for the final: The Offspring.
The beginnings were difficult. As they did not have a record label to back them up, in 1987, for their first single, they had to pay out of pocket for the publication costs and barely reached a thousand copies.
But in 1989 luck changed for them. After several rejections, the firm Nemesis, a small record company specialized in punk groups accepted the publication of their first album: 'The Offspring'. Although they did not earn money, the publication of the album helped them to become known and enter the punk move of California.
In 1992, on board Epitaph Records, they released their second album, 'Ignition', with twelve songs in the purest punk style.
In 1994 they publish 'Smash', the best-selling independent album of all time and the one that made them known worldwide. Along with this success, came also his promotional video of the theme 'Come out and Play', which was many weeks on the screens of the MTV. The album 'Smash' sold more than 8 million copies in the United States alone.
In 1997 they signed a contract with Columbia Records that angered their fans, who considered that the band had been sold to a large record company. Fruit of that contract were two works entitled 'Ixnay on the Man' and 'Americana', with which they renewed worldwide successes and that earned them a world tour that led them even to play at the Woostock'99 concert.
In November of 2000 his album 'Conspiracy Of One' came out, and in 2003 they released "Splitter".
Two years later they elaborate a new production that includes their great successes and an unpublished song "Can't repeat". The release of this album was accompanied by a DVD entitled: Complete music video collection, which includes as a novelty an acoustic version of dirty magic, as well as exclusive interviews of the band.
Several years of silence were taken for the next job. Only in 2008 they publish "Rise and fall, Rage and grace", with the production of the legendary Bob Rock (Metallica, The Cult). The result: 12 new songs created in the most creative moment of the band and that manage to border a new territory while maintaining the spirit of The Offspring.

The adventures of Tom Sawyer

CHAPTER 34: Springing a Secret—Mr. Jones' Surprise a Failure
Chapter 34: Floods of Gold
HUCK said: "Tom, we can slope, if we can find a rope. The window ain't high from the ground."
"Shucks! what do you want to slope for?"
"Well, I ain't used to that kind of a crowd. I can't stand it. I ain't going down there, Tom."
"Oh, bother! It ain't anything. I don't mind it a bit. I'll take care of you."
Sid appeared.
"Tom," said he, "auntie has been waiting for you all the afternoon. Mary got your Sunday clothes ready, and everybody's been fretting about you. Say—ain't this grease and clay, on your clothes?"
"Now, Mr. Siddy, you jist 'tend to your own business. What's all this blow-out about, anyway?"
"It's one of the widow's parties that she's always having. This time it's for the Welshman and his sons, on account of that scrape they helped her out of the other night. And say—I can tell you something, if you want to know."
"Well, what?"
"Why, old Mr. Jones is going to try to spring something on the people here to-night, but I overheard him tell auntie to-day about it, as a secret, but I reckon it's not much of a secret now. Everybody knows —the widow, too, for all she tries to let on she don't. Mr. Jones was bound Huck should be here—couldn't get along with his grand secret without Huck, you know!"
"Secret about what, Sid?"
"About Huck tracking the robbers to the widow's. I reckon Mr. Jones was going to make a grand time over his surprise, but I bet you it will drop pretty flat."
Sid chuckled in a very contented and satisfied way.
"Sid, was it you that told?"
"Oh, never mind who it was. SOMEBODY told—that's enough."
"Sid, there's only one person in this town mean enough to do that, and that's you. If you had been in Huck's place you'd 'a' sneaked down the hill and never told anybody on the robbers. You can't do any but mean things, and you can't bear to see anybody praised for doing good ones. There—no thanks, as the widow says"—and Tom cuffed Sid's ears and helped him to the door with several kicks. "Now go and tell auntie if you dare—and to-morrow you'll catch it!"
Some minutes later the widow's guests were at the supper-table, and a dozen children were propped up at little side-tables in the same room, after the fashion of that country and that day. At the proper time Mr. Jones made his little speech, in which he thanked the widow for the honor she was doing himself and his sons, but said that there was another person whose modesty—
And so forth and so on. He sprung his secret about Huck's share in the adventure in the finest dramatic manner he was master of, but the surprise it occasioned was largely counterfeit and not as clamorous and effusive as it might have been under happier circumstances. However, the widow made a pretty fair show of astonishment, and heaped so many compliments and so much gratitude upon Huck that he almost forgot the nearly intolerable discomfort of his new clothes in the entirely intolerable discomfort of being set up as a target for everybody's gaze and everybody's laudations.
The widow said she meant to give Huck a home under her roof and have him educated; and that when she could spare the money she would start him in business in a modest way. Tom's chance was come. He said:
"Huck don't need it. Huck's rich."
Nothing but a heavy strain upon the good manners of the company kept back the due and proper complimentary laugh at this pleasant joke. But the silence was a little awkward. Tom broke it:
"Huck's got money. Maybe you don't believe it, but he's got lots of it. Oh, you needn't smile—I reckon I can show you. You just wait a minute."
Tom ran out of doors. The company looked at each other with a perplexed interest—and inquiringly at Huck, who was tongue-tied.
"Sid, what ails Tom?" said Aunt Polly. "He—well, there ain't ever any making of that boy out. I never—"
Tom entered, struggling with the weight of his sacks, and Aunt Polly did not finish her sentence. Tom poured the mass of yellow coin upon the table and said:
"There—what did I tell you? Half of it's Huck's and half of it's mine!"
The spectacle took the general breath away. All gazed, nobody spoke for a moment. Then there was a unanimous call for an explanation. Tom said he could furnish it, and he did. The tale was long, but brimful of interest. There was scarcely an interruption from any one to break the charm of its flow. When he had finished, Mr. Jones said:
"I thought I had fixed up a little surprise for this occasion, but it don't amount to anything now. This one makes it sing mighty small, I'm willing to allow."
The money was counted. The sum amounted to a little over twelve thousand dollars. It was more than any one present had ever seen at one time before, though several persons were there who were worth considerably more than that in property.
End of Chapter 34

"¡Shucks! ¿Para qué quieres pendiente?"
"Bueno, no estoy acostumbrado a esa clase de gente. No puedo soportarlo. No voy a bajar, Tom".
"¡Oh, molesta! No es nada. No me importa en absoluto. Me ocuparé de ti".
Sid apareció.
"Tom", dijo él, "la tía te ha estado esperando toda la tarde. Mary preparó tu ropa de domingo y todo el mundo ha estado preocupado por ti. Oye, ¿no es esto grasa y arcilla en tu ropa?"
"Ahora, Sr. Siddy, tiene que ocuparse de su propio negocio. ¿De qué se trata todo esto?"
"Es una de las fiestas de viudas que siempre tiene. Esta vez es para el galés y sus hijos, debido al rasguño en que la ayudaron a salir de la otra noche. Y digo, puedo decirte algo, si quieres saber . "
"¿Bien que?"
"Vaya, el viejo Sr. Jones intentará inventar algo sobre la gente aquí esta noche, pero lo oí por casualidad decirle a la tía hoy, como un secreto, pero creo que no es un gran secreto ahora. Todos sabe ... la viuda, también, por todo lo que trata de decir que no. El señor Jones estaba obligado a que Huck estuviera aquí, no podía llevarse bien con su gran secreto sin Huck, ¡ya sabes!
"¿Secreto sobre qué, Sid?"
"Acerca de Huck rastreando a los ladrones hasta los de la viuda. Supongo que el Sr. Jones iba a hacer un gran momento por su sorpresa, pero le apuesto a que se quedará bastante plano".
Sid se rió de una manera muy contenta y satisfecha.
"Sid, ¿fuiste tú quien se lo dijo?"
"Oh, no importa quién fue. Alguien dijo: eso es suficiente".
"Sid, solo hay una persona en esta ciudad que tiene la suficiente importancia para hacer eso, y esa eres tú. Si hubieras estado en el lugar de Huck, habrías bajado por la colina y nunca se lo habrías contado a nadie sobre los ladrones. No puedes hacer nada. cualquier cosa que no sea mala, y no puedes soportar ver a alguien elogiado por hacer buenas. No, gracias, como dice la viuda ", y Tom esposó las orejas de Sid y lo ayudó a llegar a la puerta con varias patadas. "Ahora ve y dile a la tía si te atreves, ¡y mañana lo atraparás!"
Unos minutos más tarde, los invitados de la viuda estaban en la mesa de la cena, y una docena de niños se acomodaban en pequeñas mesas laterales en la misma habitación, a la manera de ese país y ese día. En el momento oportuno, el Sr. Jones pronunció su pequeño discurso en el que agradeció a la viuda por el honor que se estaba haciendo él y a sus hijos, pero dijo que había otra persona cuya modestia:
Y así sucesivamente y así sucesivamente. Él reveló su secreto sobre la participación de Huck en la aventura de la manera más dramática que dominó, pero la sorpresa que ocasionó fue en gran medida falsificada y no tan clamorosa y efusiva como podría haber sido en circunstancias más felices. Sin embargo, la viuda se mostró bastante justa de asombro, y recibió tantos elogios y tanta gratitud sobre Huck que casi olvidó la incomodidad casi intolerable de su ropa nueva en la totalmente intolerable incomodidad de ser un objetivo para la mirada de todos. y los elogios de todos.
La viuda dijo que quería darle a Huck un hogar bajo su techo y educarlo; y que cuando ella pudiera ahorrar el dinero, lo iniciaría en el negocio de una manera modesta. La oportunidad de Tom había llegado. Él dijo:
"Huck no lo necesita. Huck es rico".
Nada más que una fuerte presión sobre los buenos modales de la compañía frenó la debida y adecuada risa de cortesía de esta agradable broma. Pero el silencio fue un poco incómodo. Tom lo rompió:
"Huck tiene dinero. Tal vez no lo creas, pero tiene mucho dinero. Oh, no necesitas sonreír, creo que puedo mostrarte. Solo espera un minuto".
Tom salió corriendo de las puertas. La compañía se miró con un interés perplejo, e inquisitivamente a Huck, quien estaba callado.
"Sid, ¿qué le pasa a Tom?" dijo la tía Polly. "Él ... bueno, nunca se puede hacer salir a ese chico. Yo nunca ..."
Tom entró, luchando con el peso de sus sacos, y la tía Polly no terminó su oración. Tom vertió la masa de moneda amarilla sobre la mesa y dijo:
"Ahí, ¿qué te dije? ¡La mitad es de Huck y la otra mitad es mía!"
El espectáculo dejó sin aliento general. Todos miraron, nadie habló por un momento. Luego hubo un llamado unánime para una explicación. Tom dijo que podía suministrarlo, y lo hizo. El cuento fue largo, pero lleno de interés. Apenas hubo una interrupción de alguien para romper el encanto de su flujo. Cuando terminó, el señor Jones dijo:
"Pensé que había arreglado una pequeña sorpresa para esta ocasión, pero ahora no equivale a nada. Esta lo hace cantar muy pequeño, estoy dispuesto a permitirlo".
El dinero fue contado. La suma ascendió a poco más de doce mil dólares. Era más de lo que un presente había visto alguna vez antes, aunque había varias personas que valían mucho más que eso en la propiedad.
