I rate this 6=Pretty Good... not good enough to own it (or even steal it) but more than likeable enough to enjoy it when it comes up on the radio.

I actually bought this CD as kid. It must have been the harmonica that did it for me ?

Saw Barbara K perform a few months back, she opened for The Gourds. She was backed by one of the best slide players around, Cindy Cashdollar.

LOVE this song!  Whether an ode to the joy of life, or a caustic commentary on college frat-boys blindly overly optimistic about their futures from the viewpoint of the homeless . . .  it rocks!

Er, my memory must be failing me-I thought this song was outlawed by an act of Parliament in 1987?

This is a pretty weird choice for RP.  But I'm most amazed to see all these comments from people who are apparently passionate Timbuk 3 fans... : )

Oh - and here's to variety, dissidents, bitchers, cynics, college people, and pretty much everyone who comes here. Love you all.

 
The irony of this comment is that you can't buy cassettes any more. Pretty soon you won't be able to buy CDs either. And you forgot our resident trolls in your toast...

Have I said it before? That was a great segue from The Kinks' 20th Century Man.
