Rusty Weir: I hear you been layin' my old lady...Well I guess, I'll have to give Sue and those snotty nose kids to Joe.

I heard him sing that at Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin "back in the day."

I still remember hearing Manfred Mann's Earth Band's cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded By The Light" on the radio. I always wondered why they were singing, "wrapped up like a douche". Years later I actually read the lyrics. It is supposed to be, "Hopped up like a deuce."

I have a good one about music that was not appreciated by the captive audience that it was being played for....

I worked in a maximum security prison for many years and one of the lieutenants was Polish. When the convicts would act up he would play polka music over the loudspeaker system. He would announce "da muzikk" in his Buffalo Polish accent... "Dat was Little Wally an da HoopyShoopy!!! Dat was da Beer Barrel Polka by Frankie Yankovic"!!!

He would do it about once a month and the ghettoites would complain. It was hilarious.

ghettoites ……… heh heh

Jackson Browne had some surprising words for fans who thought his song ROSIE was a sweet love song. "It's about masturbation," he told music writer Adam Sweeting. "You know, Rosie Palm and her five sisters? People have listened to that song and loved it for years without knowing that.

Revved-up like a 'deuce. As wound-out as a hopped-up '32 ford could get. Supposedly about street racing (but i heard that back when ford held the white house...) blinded by the police lights that descend on streetracers. Another runner in the night. Did he get away?

I can tell you doing the family pilgrimage to see moms relatives in Minnesota from where we lived in Montana we'd end up in eastern North Dakota on a Sunday morning looking for scratchy AM stations with poor coverage and when you found one it was Polka Party only! Actually I know a lot of lyrics and I'm a Swede not a Pole

I saw the song Rosie, as making a joke about disappointment and loss.

Finally I get the answer! Thanks.

Although the song is performed by one of my least-favorite singers, I always wondered why young girls would have eyes like potatoes…

Rock and Roll? Wasn't Neil Diamond about as cool as Barry Manilow? My mom had quite a few of his 8 tracks.

Neil Diamond was way cooler than Barry Manilow.
He certainly could put on a great live show and knew how to work an audience. He attracted a much younger audience and kept them his whole career.
If you know you know.

Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy.
A kid will eat ivy too. Wouldn't you?
