    Gregg, tell me why you want to lay there, revel in your abandon?

        Not in this particular scenario because I was backing down. I figured it was time to move on, time to get going.

          Keep moving on.

            None of my top 5 songs picked thus far (surprise)

              Those are John Cougar Mellencamp songs.

                Petty draft, not Geddy draft....

                  Heh. Not trying to be a noodge, but I happened across this in my YouTube travels today, and I couldn't resist posting it:



                  That inspired me to dig a bit, and supposedly Petty & Dylan co-wrote Tweeter And The Monkey Man as a rib on the New Jersey street characters featured in various Bruce Springsteen songs. Who knew?
                  "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
                  "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
                  "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

                    That's funny -- and it definitely sounds like a Springsteen parody in spots.

                        Yea, accidental after he'd played 53 dates with a fractured hip. Ugh

                            oh, and I'm quite ready to make my 2 picks if Gregg would pick, when do we skip him and let him make 2?

                              I was about to flip the fucking spread if Gregg took "You Don't Know How It Feels" as my 2 picks were it, and "Here Comes My Girl" about 6 picks ago. Snaked and Jinked, it could have almost been a Tom Petty song...

                                dude, I thought you had fully jinked me here.....
