I always forget how good a song "The Runner" is.  A Manfred Mann GH compilation must be the most chaotic and uneven listen ever for a greatest-hits collection.

Ya know, at first I didn't remember it was Mannfred Mann.  I thought it was John Paar.  Can ya hear it?

Now that you say so, I can totally hear that.  I'll have to check who the songwriters are on that!

HM to "For the Longest Time."  Dave, lurk much?

Me Dave, or He Dave?  I don't lurk much -- if I'm not posting, I'm probably not listening.   But yeah, I'm a bit scarce lately.

Oh, sorry, Dave -- I meant Morey.  Mike was bigging up the An Innocent Man somewhere on the board this week and I wondered if Dave had seen the post and agreed.

Fourth Bruce: Michael Baldwin, this is Bruce. Michael Balwin, this is Bruce. And Michael Baldwin, this is Bruce.
First Bruce: Is your name not Bruce, then?
Michael Balwin: No, it's Michael.
Second Bruce: That's gonna cause a little confusion.
Third Bruce: Yeah. Mind of we call you Bruce, just to keep it clear?
