2. Loud obnoxious guitar driven rock is my middle name.

3. Ha, I like that thinking. Great drumming effort here also.

4. Your Parents Named You That?

Well, that's unusual!
I always dug this song except that piano part at the end. As much as I admired Lord's organ playing, a piano player he wasn't. The piano arpeggios in the bridge are nice, but that plinky-plinky thing at the end just doesn't work.
If he wanted something other than organ, I think a Minimoog sawtooth sound would have worked great.

5. Kids: don't let your parents use drugs. ...

... my standards for rock bands is: don't expect technical expertice to ice the cake.

6. That Was My Whole Job!

In 90% of the bands I was in, I was the icing!

[marble falls]

7. Yeah, but then you aren't the average band member! You actually have taste, skills and an education. ...

... my wife told me she figured out my place in the companies I worked for. I wasn't blue collar or white collar; I was gold collar. You were the gold guitar pick, the gold keyboard, and you actually knew how to arrange music, which a lot of musicians never get down at all. You understand what Leonard Cohen wrote, "it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor falls, the major lifts".

Let alone you had a great day gigs.

8. Well, Thank You!
