Use the search function to pull them up. I am sure you might be able to greatly educate me on the R.E.M. stuff - their lyrics confuse the heck out of me. ;)Martin Maenzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640466353011569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620417008960069715.post-14492488293777934622012-08-13T18:39:02.516-04:002012-08-13T18:39:02.516-04:00Neil, thank you so much for the comments.
