25 or 6 to BOS #4!

so is it "twenty-five or (twenty-)six before four o'clock" or are the odds "25- or 6-to-4"?  I'm still baffled after all these years.

Story I heard, which may be an urban legend, is that "25" and "6 to 4" (or "624"?) were strains of LSD.  "Should I try to do some more?"

Look at You, Look at Me.  This is a bigtime sledgehammer for me...

Me too.  Just a few months ago I got one of the original marbled/swirly vinyl copies of this record.  My old girlfriend back at UCSB ended up with my copy for some reason, and whenever I hear the guitar solo (which I think we now know is Clapton?) I also see the swirly vinyl on the turntable in the back of my mind!
