        What, there's nothing between total masterpiece and drug trip and failure?

	I like it...alot. But i don't think its a prog masterpiece, humorous (though it does make me laugh alittle), drug trip, or failure.
	Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.
