Honestly, the dude deserves maximum props just for going into the rock business with the name "Ira".

But your name is so much fun to say, all is forgiven!

What is it that makes a cheese turn neutral?

It's true! Reading it in Garrison Keillor's voice really does make it sound like a magical sleigh-ride through nostalgia!

Cuban Linx always made me think of sausage.

I must again point out that the most obvious interpretation of "she's like the wind, through my trees" is that she blows him. And as the wind generally gusts repeatedly, instead of just a single time, she blows him repeatedly. That must be why he loves her enough to sing about her.

Hoboken, you do sort of have a point, but I must say, I did think that about "And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out". I don't know why, but that album just floored me.

That's KFC for you: taking what is not meant to be real, and dragging it forcefully, kicking and screaming and sobbing in defiance and fear, into the cold hard light of reality. I weep for the future.

Oh dear lord, are you going to tentacle-rape them too??

He does however steal one of my favorite methods of retribution, or as I call them, ret-meths.

I dub thee…. METAPHOR MAN!

Now I've… had… sex with your wiiiife
And I owe it all to you…

Also: "She's Like the Wind" = "She Blows".

After typing all that out, does the answer really matter?

I think some songs benefit from being really long. Like he says, when it gets to be hypnotic, that's good. I think Can were the best at this. I can't imagine "Yoo Doo Right" being less than 20 minutes. Even that seems short.

And that's when your tentacles came out and the raping began.

That Brothers Grimm movie was shit.

I don't know these people
But I do enjoy funkiness. Slap my booty and call me FunkyFace. Because it's the truth.

Besides, why would you ONLY want to hear a TRAINED pianist play? I'd love to hear an untrained pianist, if he/she had good instincts.

Me, I give Road House the nod, only because I HATE Keanu, and I LOVE Sam Elliott.
