Ooooh fantastic thread this one
My favorire is Peart - and the unique thing about him is that I only agree with about 40% of his lyrics - he talks garbage most of the time, but I still love his lyrics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Fish too............ Garden Party here today........ I love Garden Parties........
