You know what's driving ME crazy, Sammy Hagar?

Your lack of even the most rudimentary botanical knowledge.

"Hot, sweet cherries on the vine"?
.
Where exactly are these cherry vineyards of which you sing so passionately?

A question for Kansas...

from your wayward son:

Make up your mind. Do you want me to carry on or lay my weary head to rest? Two very different things.

Don't forget! We're also currently accepting answers to lyrical questions to be included in an upcoming post. (See original call for contributions.)

Questions like:
1. Do you believe in rock and roll?

2. Can music save your mortal soul?

3. Can you teach me how to dance real slow?

To which my answers would be:

1. Beyond all reason.

2. Actually, I'm immortal.

3. Coincidentally, that is the only kind of dancing I'm qualified to teach. 

Keep those answers coming!

A follow-up question for Bob Seger...

Sorry to bother you twice in one week, Mr. Seger, but this one has puzzled me for a long time...

"Like a rock, chargin' from the gate."

Seriously? You couldn't think of anything else to rhyme with "standin' arrow straight" (which rocks also don't typically do)?

A few alternatives for your consideration...

Like a rock, hard to penetrate.


Like a rock, puttin' on some weight.


Like a rock, very much like slate.


Like a rock, pointless to debate.


Like a rock, from the granite state.


Like a rock...crushin' scissors is my fate.

That's it for now. We'll discuss Turn The Page another day.

A question for Messrs. Frey and Henley...

Roughly how many debutantes are there in Houston, baby?


The Long Run lyrics here.

Oh, Boston. Where do we begin?

How about here...

I looked out this morning 
and the sun was gone.
Turned on some music to start my day...

Let me get this right. You roll over in bed, peek out the window, and find that the sun is gone. Not "obscured by clouds." Not "not yet risen." But gone. The solar system has ceased to exist as its eponymous center is no longer present. Do you panic? You do not. Do you cry out, your face instantaneously frozen in a hideous death mask? Hardly. What you do do is put on some music to start your day. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how real rockers roll.

Know this, Boston, this conversation is far from over.

A question for Billy Joel...

Who was this younger man, and why was the old guy at the bar wearing his clothes? Also, did they fit okay?
