You may not like the USA country pop (to your ears, but this is not country pop), but since it's my birthday, i'll play it anyway, as it's a vision song that has propelled me through many board meetings in endangered wood paneled rooms.

And here's the most emotional analysis of today's crisis
"There's a barn burnin' baby
and i can't say who's to blame...
there's an evil in this land...
well the rich get richer..
and the poor, they just stay poor.

Not bad for birthday thoughts, oder?

Re: Geezer (4.00 / 6)

My fingers don't even fit they kewyboard, so thanks all.
