5. Which version?
The demo's kind of nice
The studio version is tolerable
The Live at the Fox Theater version is a bit overdone

14. Hehe. Remember all the polls on whether Freebird or Stairway to Heaven was the greatest?
Seems like in this rare case, maybe Stairway would have beaten it...

17. Yeah, that Timmeh was a real free spirit.
Did someone change the meaning of "free spirit" to rich Toady?

18. what they shouldhave played:




I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That's right, folks . . .
Don't touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

21. Was His Holiness The Pope on bass?
I heard that he wanted to be there, but wasn't 'important' enough, so he was gonna sneak in with the band.
