Now taking bets for how many lewd references BLT will make. Will it be under 14, or over?
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.

Does it involve a transvestite on a trapeeze in a tunnel?

- I think Nickleback have already done it. Or maybe it was Matchbox 20. One of the classics anyway.

Hmm. I'm supposed to be writing a song about overdevelopment for a local community campaign, so this could work out.

*double-checks due date* Dude, don't freak me out like that!

Oh, I see. Good call.

*phew* Still another week to work on this. I have an idea, but it needs some massaging. (And not that kind, Caravan, BLT...)

I had more of Raffi/Glam metal song in mind. Take advantage of the syllabic nuance to educate the youngsters.

Wow! I still have almost a full week to do this one!

It's still not going to happen, but it's nice to know I have options.
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.
