Never heard of Steve Earle? You’re not old, you just know absolutely nothing about music.

I guess I am really old because I have no idea who Tom Morello, Pete Yorn, Ben Gibbard, and Steve Earle are.
Alice Cooper? Now him I know.

Hate to disagree with you Cur, but I am partial to the baseball references in Meatloaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light”.

There was a great segment on MTV circa 1985 with George Thorogood (Mets fan) and John Fogerty (Yankees fan) talking baseball and the blues while at a spring training game. I haven’t seen it since its original airing, but recall it being very entertaining.

Rather than trying to answer with some kind of spaced out rabble about Brian Cashman teaming up with Gollum and the evil one, creeping up and slipping away with them against their will, feel free to substitute *steal* with *acquire* for our purposes today.

How do you steal something you pay (mightily) for?

Lonsome George isa a Yankees fan? Total stake through my heart. though, I guess there is some dichotomy there, with Thorougood copying from the annals of great blues artists and the yankees flat out stealing other people’s players.

John Fogerty puts all the pitching success on the defensive plays from today’s superb center fielders.

How does Alice Cooper know the ball hasn’t changed?

Steve Earle is a Yankees’ fan?!

Damn, Walon, heroin is one thing, but how are you going to sell out your hometown Orioles like that? Bubbles won’t like that one bit.
