Hi people!This is another off topic question, but that seems to be tolerated, to a point.Was it Jan and Dean who did "dead man's curve"? Tony#510


Yep, that's correct Tony. I omitted to mention that with my
prev. post. Kinda prophetic, as Jan?(I forgot) or Dean
had a horrible car wreck, causing him brain-damage for many
years following.

RE: My two cents' worth on musical lyrics. They don't HAVE to
make sense, boys/girls. People enjoy the songs for what they are,
w/o the need for analyzing every word, or between each line.

In "Close To The Edge" Jon Anderson wrote/sang :
"....The time between the notes relates the colours to the scene...."
Some might say "HUH?"....Others will say "far-out, man! "
...It is what it is.

Even almost 40 yrs.later, I still don't know what some words were
to singles from The Left Banke and artist named Keith.

Here's one for ya's : Rascal's top-hit "Groovin" had a line
...."you and me endlessly." My mother way back then thought
she heard "You and Me LSD", and took-away my transistor radio.
.....There 'ya are !
