Guess that tells everybody how old I am. Love this song by the way. That's funny! And cool... |

This came out when I was in college - and I sang it often while staggering back from downtown. It's a GREAT song for such situations. |

Wardleader Jun 13, 2012 - 10:05 | yEA, Everybody knows, somebody tell the people who know but say otherwise. Neil and Patti on tour, finally a reason to take pain killers for the aches and get on out to the extra large enclosed multi purpose facility which changes names every few years. WOOO HOOO! |
