I realize I've veered off topic a bit..deliberately provoking Rev...but he needs a little provokin' from time to time. It keeps him sharp!

For sure dude. "I Am The Walrus" is the greatest song ever recorded but "Rain"...man, the tune is second favorite for me for good reason I feel. The fusion of that blues, Yardbirds, Motown sound with the psychedelia blows me away everytime I hear it.

...Always--no sometimes--think it's good
But you know, I know, and it's a stoned-out lyric
That is, you can't, you know, make any sense of it
But it's alright--that is I think it's not too bad...

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to the Atlanta peformance of SMiLE...

I must say that I am completely suprised that Walrus is your favorite song!!!

The Good Rev knows what he preaches. He speaks the truth about the greatness of Strawberry Fields. Keep preaching Rev.

It's going to get hard to have to decide between Walrus and Strawberry Fields in the current tournament. I can go either way. They are both masterpieces of art. We might have to demand a recount of those hanging chads.

Algernoner, yeah dude, been workin on a cable show with my buddy DiGuorno. But I'm back in Austin man...some dudes and myself created a sort of green screen studio in my ma's garage. Tore down the shelves and everything. Linda was a little pissed for sure. We got some pretty gnarly results though, check these out...

Cool, Walrus! Man,it looks like Fellini! Tell Crazy Linda to stay cool...let the auteur do his thing or she won't get an invitaion to the Academy Awards!

I might have to go to that performance. It happens to fall on my mom's bday and I think that might be a nice present to take her to see Brian Wilson. Thanks for bringing it up - I woulda never known.

As a matter of fact, I'll be there too!
