Thanks for the kind words, but I'm just hangin' out, writing what's on my mind.
Billy Squire - same era - funny story:
I had a dorm roommate for a minute that was drinkin' at the same bar as me one time. Big bar, meat market, loud as hell with live cover bands.
So the band was playing "Everybody Wants You." I didn't even know my roommate was at the bar, but apparently he was there, way across the dance floor at a table miles away.
The band hits that silent pause - remember it? - and I can hear that guy break the silence, belting out, "everybody wants you!" He must've been drunk-singing at the top of his lungs, unaware that this was the silent pause part of the song.
It was hysterical!
Don't know what ever became of him, but I know he never lived that down.
