I actually got the impression this was not the first time Jim had presented the idea to Wallace.

At least one or two times I saw the Pilfers, I spent most of the time staring at Anna the hot bass player.

Interesting that Gorillaz has Fire Coming from the Monkeys Head (with Dennis Hopper)

I was trying to remember it's like you know because I really liked the blond massage therapist/hippie girl on there. Thanks.

Ride Captain Ride by Blues Image and I am Your Captain by Grand Funk are part of a playlist I have called Sprawling in a good way. Also include Time by Chambers Brothers, Innunendo by Queen, In-a-gadda-da-vida, Thick as a Brick (full version) and others.

Sorry to reply to myself, but thought of some other mule - Whoa Mule by Bo Diddley and Whoa Mule by Black Crowes

Stagger Lee (or Staggolee) is a sub genre all to himself

Big Bad John, Battle of New Orleans, Saginaw Michigan, Devil Went down to GA, Tom Dooley, Old Rivers, Ballad of Green Beret, Long Black Veil, El Paso, The Wall,…

Thanks, trying to type while looking at ipod playlist.
