Not needed. Once you have Fats Domino you need nothing else.

That song made one of my cats nearly have a seizure. But then again, that one likes country music so I don't even know why I tolerate his presence.

From what I've heard of Queen, I have to say I'm not a big fan they always sound cheesy and over-the-top to me.

They sound over the top because they were over the top. That's because they actually had talent. Mercury was one of the best vocalists of his generation. Brian May is a wizard on the Axe. Plus, he's a nerd. He has every Star Wars toy ever made AND he was the guest guitarist on a GW produced Black Metal Album in the late 80s (I think it was D-Rok, the one with 'Red Planet Blues'(which was a lame, lame song)) POISON, now that gak is cheesy. I dare you to watch this stinky wheel of fromage

As overplayed as the 12 bar pattern is, this song flat out kicks ass. I seriously couldn't stop my toe from tapping the moment it started.

The more I post, the more I begin to think that I'm the young, hippy-esque version of Fraz. Could I be him in a future life...?

I'm pretty sure Frazzled is too conservative to have been a hippie in his life-time.

Hence hippie-esque (left-leaning, free love, drugs, etc.) in the original post. Ah feth it

I always wondered why he chose the word jump. It's about as exciting as using the word "walk"

That is the myth of the hippie, not the reality. Going by your pictures you know what hygiene is as well as not giving up your material goods and living on a commune. George Harrison went to Haight-Ashbury becuase he had also been sold a bad bill of goods. After he came back from California he described them as a bunch of lazy people that smelled bad.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

So are you the good Frazzled or the evil Frazzled?

In younger days went to elementary school part in Austin, dressed as hippy with hair, peace sign, tye die, the works. There was another dad there with the same

"Nice costume. Yours looks authentic."
"What costume?"


In other news hippies do not age well...
