Excellent!

Bob
Yeah, "horn stabs." That's perfect, Bob. Thanks for the listen.

I remember Phil Collins saying he didn't know what "In the Air Tonight" was about, and it went number 1.

Anyway, I like what you two have done here.
And "all the people cheer when he pours his free beer" is a pretty cool line. Works without any context smile
Haha, glad we're on the same blank page, Brain. Obla Dee. You know I never have to correct your lyrics when you send them, but I must correct you now. "...when pouring his free beer." That king would never serve the people. hehe

I love how you take different styles and genres and create interesting songs (not to mention your videos)...usually your bass lines are so transparent (a good thing) but there were some really great bass riffs going on here that jumped out and that bass vocal stuff at the end was low man...IMHO you've got a eclectic, geo-political, non-existential hit on your hands ...you know what I mean?
WOw, Dan. That's deep, and I think you actually cleared it up for me. Why didn't I think of that? Right, I can throw anything at Dave and he always hits it perfectly. I like that robot idea, but "eclectic, geo-political, non-existential hit" is a pretty small group. So glad you're with me. Dan.

As far as a lyric that no one can understand - that's not an issue. Ever listen to "MacArthur Park"? Clear as muddled mud! Still, an iconic song. Uh - should Tim Foust give up his job as super bass singer for Home free? Just wonderin'!

Good one, gentlemen!

Alan
Hello, Alan, and thank you very much. You are a wise man to avoid dribble and enjoy the music. Mr. Foust has nothing to worry about; reaching the note is one thing, having quality in the sound is a whole nuther story. [Speaking of which, looking forward to your next book.]

Enjoy whatever happens!
