I'm listening to a lot of songwriter John Gorka lately.
"Couldn't bribe a wino
on what I used to make"
is the start of his song "Land of the Bottom Line".
What a great opening line.
What are some favorites of yours?

"Are you ready?" from Blind by Korn off their first cd. When I first heard it my answer was yes, but as time progressed the answer was no, no I was not ready for the large amount of crappy music that would follow suit and dominate the air waves. Stupid nu-metal.
