It's cute the way you pretend not to know this.

*Not really a Crowes fan, but just never had the hate for them (or DMB, for that matter) that people whose musical taste I respect seem to express with relish. Maybe because I am an Old? They were not the music of my high school or college years.
It is because we are olds. I feel the same way. They came around when I was busier with stuff like raising my kids and trying to learn how to play grown-up. They were inoffensive enough to be left alone as background music, and they were nowhere near as offensive as say, Barney or Hanson (sp?).

Yes. And if one of them is a Simple 3i, red with black trim, let me know so I can arrange to meet him and reclaim my bike.

There are no bands I'm aware of with "Crow" or "Crowe" in their name that are worth going out of your way to listen to.

Hence my description of them as "inoffensive as background music." I wouldn't search the radio dial for them. But if I walked into Kroger and "Remedy" was playing, I didn't burn the store down.

That is all.

OK, but red wine is better than white.

Female Party Guest: I finally had an orgasm, and my doctor told me it was the wrong kind.
Isaac Davis: Did you have the wrong kind? Really? I've never had the wrong kind, ever. My worst one was right on the money.

Bad head, in my experience, does not lead to an orgasm, no matter how long it goes on.
