It was while listening to 'My Son the Nut' that I first realized that songs were written by human beings, rather than just appearing out of thin air. If a guy could write new lyrics to an old tune, then someone else could write a whole new song. This idea fascinated me. So: "Hail to thee, fat man, you kept us out of war." 15430@blogcritics.org Wed, 20 Aug 2003 04:29:08 EDT
