27. I always thought of that as a rip-off of "Bird Song"-style Garcia & Grateful Dead.

Here's the Dead performing Bird Song @ Radio City Music Hall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYA16z2-xFg

It's basically "No Rain"...written and performed well before "No Rain."

"All I know is something like a bird within her sang"

"All I can say is my life is pretty plain"

...same song.

8. first band I ever "fell in love" with

were The Beatles. I still listen to them all the time, buy crap that I don't need concerning them, and have turned my kid onto them. Is that Beatle-esque or Beatle-manic?

6. In what way are you Beatlesque?

[DoBotherMe]

11. I was looking for a laugh

But in the broadest sense of the Beatles as an influence, no one has had a greater impact on me. Dana ; )

28. I was going to start a copycat thread "Post something Rutlesque"

But I couldn't come up with anything - which, now that I think about it is entirely appropriate.

29. I met Neil Innes last month

During his recent tour he did a gig in a coffeehouse where I live. Really nice guy and his performance was really good. I was just listening to his new CD this morning.

I got to chat with him shorly before the show and a little afterward as he signed my Rutles album.
