I read some wonderful responses to trolls back during the ole net flame wars in the 90's but this is the best. By a long shot. A glimpse inside your head when the inspiration hits would be worth whatever the price of the ticket! Fun!

Maybe you could start smoking a pipe and create an entire philosophical movement around that. Hey, I have an idea for your first novel: Nausea. Just a thought.

To have the song of the year written so early in the year simply takes the wind out of my sails to even try. This, my friends, is the brilliance of the program. Someone like David can write and produce an entire song this fast. So cool! Thanks for the laugh David! I didn't see that comin' and somehow it doesn't surprise me that you could do it!
