"Hello, is it me you're looking for?" hee hee. Yeah, VH1 Classic still
plays that video from time to time. That hunk of clay made ol' Lionel
look kinda "missing link-ish", if you will. Our high school pep band
used to play Brick House at football games, the place just went nuts! So
very funky where we white farm boyz .... (pass the ginger brandy!) ;-)

Damn, Billy. I wish *I'd* thought of / said / posted that. I think that
may be the link everyone's been looking for. You nailed it. When I heard
KC's ballad "Please Don't Go" on a car commercial a couple years ago,
for the first time in SOOO long, I about fell out.
One line to thank everyone for posting their Best of 2003 Lists. To me,
it's what Audities does best. Essential. Bless y'all.
