solid goldstein: Gerry rafferty died
b1: weird.
G: My brother said he was a drunk
b1: he'll get it right the next time.
G: Or right down the line...my brother recalls hearing his song
incessantly in 1978. We are old.
b1: i liked him. although i didn't realize "baker street" was a cover
until just a few years ago. makes me a lamer ... not a hall of famer.
G: who did the original?
b1: i don't know. the wiki article is imcomplete.
G: Rafferty wrote baker street.
b1: looks like i need more self-confidence.
G: Not your short suit...
b1: oh thanks, mr. tailor. while you're at it, could you let out the hem on my groin? thanks.
G: Your confidence is a good thing. Being smarter than 99 percent of the world can be a burden, though.
b1: being smart isn't a burden, but memory is. thank god mine's selective.
G: As far as I can recall, mine is getting worse all the time. Except for horrible songs of the 70s. I recall every note.
b1: as you're dying your final words will be "more ... more ... more ..." how do you like it?
G: Now that one, I like. That song sounds ever better every year. It's got four distinct parts and some killer hooks. I'd put that one song against metallica's whole output.
b1: you and me both, pal.
