I did enjoy it. And there's great stuff coming out of your forum posts. Yep, keep it up peep!!!
I imagine you are a fun fellow to be out and about with judging by the way you totally immerse yourself into your songs.

David,
One thing is for sure, you perform with 200% commitment! The amount of energy you brought to the forum with this one is enormous.
From a craftsmanship perspective, I love the way your chorus moves lyrically; the rhyme scheme and the repetition are sensational. I have a feeling that if you could apply this song's format to a 21st century theme that appealed to women and men, old and young, you'd have a major hit on your hands!
All the best,
Noel

Noel said it right! Amazing energy. Love the feel of the band (reminded me of the WHO when the guitars started). Fun and clever lyrics and great raw rock feel! Cool stuff David!! Take care. Greg

Thanks Noel!!! I will think about your suggestion! Since I basically just stepped up to the microphone and belted this one out flailing my arms at the old Tele, I have no idea how to make different lyrics but I will sure give that some thought. Ha ha. I was just playing some rock and roll but it is worth considering. Thanks!!!

Nice and Rocking David! What do you think of the new RTs? We think they are great. We definitely think that the audiophile edition renders the true BiaB sound.  We bet you agree!

This song made me want to go and pick up my guitar from my son's house and start playing again. I enjoyed your energy and I would think that you would want to only do one take on this one or at least wait a few hours. Enjoyed!

Rock and Rolling David!
I liked this a lot. Great mix and as far as the lyrics go I wouldn't change a thing.
Great kick@ss sound.
I arrived early to a restaurant.
The manager asks, "do you mind waiting a bit?"
I said no.
"Good", he said. "Take these drinks to table 3"

All that as missing was a raucous solo, sax or guitar.
Reminded me very much of Springsteen.

David,
My favorite of yours that I've heard. Your writing in this is tighter - and has some real originality to it. You are saying familiar things, yet keeping it fresh.
Sounds like a lost Stones cut..
Enjoyed it. Good mix.
