yeah, the setlists are done "on the fly" on FB and I've been posting them early rather than wait for AL to put them on kfog.com -- I try to weed out typos but...
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

LN2: "Light My Fy-uh". Now *I'm* headed for the bathroom.

This is sounding awesome right now!

the LOOOOONG version!

I had to review the postings, knew I'd find some snark attached to this one!

ETA: I see my long version comment is quite unoriginal.  For me, it was always so harsh to hear the single version.

Gotta love that line about wallowing in the mire. Sorry, but that's bad poetry, Jim.

I think Robbie Krieger is responsible for this one. He wrote all the love songs, I was told, while Morrison wrote the more abstract stuff.
Let's get right to it.
