I believe strongly in animal rights and just as strongly in animal responsibilities.

There is a very good rabbit … there is a very good way to cook it. My mother teachered me. My mother is Elena, the name of my mother. With rosemarino, olive oil, garlic and other secrets.

"A slightly heightened reality"
Is that like when you move your arms and you see trails and sometimes things seem really, really funny for no reason?

It's only a bit of a stretch, but I just decided "Danny Says" from End of the Century will henceforth become a part of my regular holiday music canon.

"Somebody called me on the phone,
They said, hey hey is Dolly home?"

As I said, I didn't intend disrespect towards Canada or Canadians, it was more my opinion that Joni Mitchell is one of the finest artists of our time regardless of what country's artists she's being ranked with.

@barefoot - I think the new rule is we're allowed to pronounce it "Carbona" so long as we spell it "Carbonara."

cattle not cattles, him not hin and no apostrophe after Parks. I probably spelled Kamehameha wrong too.

Live at the Ash Grove
Is my favorite Parks' record. The song "Cowboy" kills me. "King Kamehameha looked at Captain Cooke upon the shore, looked at all the cattles, asked hin, 'What the hell are these for?' "

"One of the finest Canadian artists of our time." Talking about damning with faint praise … No disrespect to Canada or Canadians, but it's sort of like, "Van Gogh is one of the finest one-eared artists ever!"

"I'll find a favourite restaurant and eat there every day
And at the nearby bowling alley I'll bowl my cares away
Some days I'll order chicken, some days I'll order fish
Some days I'll have piroshki's, that's a Polish dish"

Arthur Alexander
I knew the Beatles' cover of "Anna" and Mink DeVille's version of "You Better Move On." I'd also read a description somewhere comparing Lennon's "Anna" to Alexander's as "a boy's attempt at a man's song," but I never got around to hearing Alexander himself. I finally bought an anthology from Amazon…

Strictly my opinion, but the Jam's "So Sad About Us" is better than the Who's original.

Even though I'm 85% sure it's only there to sucker someone like me in,
I'll bite: 70's bands like Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts"?

I was always felt Bruce Foxton was heavily influenced by the bass stylings of Phil Lesh just as latter-day Lesh was heavily influenced by Bootsy Collins. You can hear a lot of "Darkstar" influences on Foxton's work on "Non-Stop Dancing." I believe this may also be related to their mutual interest in Scriabin's later…

A Good "Gateways"
But "Holidays in the Sun" copped the riff from "In the City," not vice-versa - check the release dates.

No lawsuits end in convictions. Criminal prosecutions can end in convictions. "Lawsuit" generally refers to a civil action which usually either ends in a defense verdict or a damage award.

^^ If you were really concerned with fairness, you would have done dad, too.

Do my eyes deceive me?
Do The amps have "Santa" logos on them? If so, that's very cool.

Rude Boy unwatchable? Bah! It's worth watching for the concert footage alone, not to mention the pigeon shooting incident.
