Equality must be a milkshake then. For though some are thick and some thin, some lowfat and others full of it, and it comes in many flavors, it's all milkshake. You can't have "a little" milkshake drop over your head on you; you'd simply have "milkshake" on you.

@b: Sometimes my SiriusXM display won't show the name of a song being played--don't know if that's an internal computer error or what.

Nice to know you're also in the select group of TransFans, b!
Avatar 2:03am
Matt from Springfield:

@Holly: It's a somewhat harder to find, but Neil's DVD "Berlin" is excellent. It's his show in [West] Berlin in '83, half-Trans half-Crazy Horse/classics! They wear sunglasses and vocoders, and Nils Lofgren and the late Bruce Palmer figure prominently!
Avatar 2:03am
b:

Computer Age is a GREAT track. Fell in love with that album thanks to his HBO concert special featuring that phase, including classic tracks. I think you can get it on DVD as "Live in Berlin." And David Geffen always *was* a wack job; he was the REAL "You" of "You're So Vain."
