Off the subject… I thought that album Puzzle was a great underrated album.

Who just wants to get f\*cked all night, and why is that a problem?

When I was takin’ a trip out to LA, toolin’ along in my Chevrolet … what town did I get a flat tire in, and what was the name of the bar where I waited for the repair truck?

When brother returned from his two week trip, from where was he coming, and what was the name of the place where he stopped to have a drink before he went home to her?

What is the name of the bar where I slip on down to meet my friends in low places?

How many days did I last before I finally had a cheeseburger? And how do I like it prepared?

Nearly 70 days, and you like yours with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes.

Nope. Buble screwed it up. If it ain’t worth a try, you roll up and die. If there’s nothing shakin’ here come July, you hop on a big bird (airliner) and fly (somewhere else).

For you [i.e., me] to love.

Obviously, if I fill my head with glue I will never get to heaven, but what letter and what number will it be?
