maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make about something they hadn't experienced
possibly sam had a different opinion that nobody'd ever considered important
and damn it if norman and betty were listening somebody would have become a phenomenal
howling lightning tampering with the electrical evidence shown to be relevant
possibly with the exception of ivory everyone else had abandoned the obvious
chipping away at erroneous garbage which definitely is as exciting as pudding
deliciously spooned from the lap of the ludicrous into the mouths of the questionless idiots
licking their lips as their eyeballs are rolling and flapping their tongues as they're losing their marbles

that's the way sam played around that's the way sam's played

someone who wasn't related to anyone twisted the facts till the truth was apparent
and dished up a dollop of dubious doo-doo that sparkled like something folks scrambled to swallow
slipping the rich through the eye of a needle is easy as getting a camel to heaven
and granny transgressing had blubbered a bibful of classified info on milton's imbroglio

that's the way sam played around that's the way sam's played

maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make about something they hadn't experienced
possibly sam had a different opinion that nobody'd ever considered important

saw them in asheville, nc about a couple of months ago. wife and i had just gotten off work at the hospital and drove by and on the spur of the moment went in and stood like 10 feet from the stage in our scrubs. They rocked! Two brothers and another guy, I think. Had no idea how many songs Nirvana popularized. I thought they were playing Nirvana songs at first until my wife corrected me. Lead singer is great on guitar.

The somewhat crappy local radio station of my choosing (lesser of many evils, Non Stop New Rock! except those 5 Beasty Boys songs every day we must play) played the Puppets' Backwater yesterday (Jessie is by far the best of the DJs there, aside from her love of the crappy aforesaid Beasties, besides, she looks cute in Body Armour and a kevlar helmet).

I have just tested your hypothesis. My results would indicate that you are correct.

If you want a good selection of songs, go to her lowest rated. Conversely, if you like 94.5 The Rock (or whatever) try her top rated songs.

You can if you use Realplayer, in the options you can cache as much music as you want. I only do two hours because that is about as long as I want to allow myself to listen to a song. Plus it is enough to cache through most of my meetings, and gets me through even the longest of lunches, which have been quite long since WC06 started.

I remember seeing them on their tour for this album, playing at the Cactus here in SJ. Only about 50-75 of us in the crowd that night, but it was a great show. These guys were underappreciated, IMO.
