Whew! ... just needed to vent a bit.... we still have it better than a lot of people in the world.
 

Please leave, you won't be missed.

Good timing on this tune as I am having one of those days where any kind of novocaine would be welcome

I like almost all the music, though, and understand why his tunes gets into a lot of movie soundtracks.

 

I quite like Mr Eels.

The trick is that the people you vote for have to what they said they would do. This doesn't happen very often.

If you don't like it you can always leave. And also come back. Whatever. A great thing about living in the USA, we can fight like dogs and I'll still buy you a beer later. Plus we can super size your nipples and F-bombs for a nominal charge. Nice, no?

Still one of my favorites, "Novocaine for the Soul" never gets old for me. If anything, it takes on new meanings as time moves on.

Please refer to my comment to Bocephus. It's not always Bill's choice - he chooses from what is submitted.  If you have a better version without "edits," submit it! Put your comments in, and be patient.  We all know RP is about radio free everywhere.
