Bully for them!

I need to get out more often. :smiley:

  1. Epidurals
  2. The Truman Doctrine
  3. Hi, Opal (I don’t mean this a filler, I mean there aren’t any Top 40 songs about Hi, Opal)

While it never went Top 40 (but it should have), Heywood Banks has “Pancreas” on his Treated and Releasedalbum.
