At least you get to see them.

Greg:

Thanks, and thank you (and the others) another time for taking it farther 
(and great response so far from everyone!) than just an analysis of the 
words. I hope this continues...how the song has effected us, how it fits into 
the scheme of the LP...all of it is great. Even to the trashing of the song 
(you know who you are, Scott Schade) which I will get to in a moment.

Time to let your dog eat your homework. This isn't helping. Don't explain. 
Let it go.

Teach, it's time to grade the papers and move on to the next assignment.

Scott:

So we know you've never met that "her" yet.
Besides, you have to remember the song was written in 1967! You know, the "I 
love her, she makes me happy, oooh baby baby I second that emotion" days.

  And what's he saying here?  Was he going to hold his breath

Really...no woman has ever taken your breath away? That's really too bad...it 
has happened to me many times. It's better than drugs.

No, other love. Other chances, tossed away and into the blue.

We'll get to that one. I intend to bring a new song in every week.

Oh. You ARE on drugs! I see. Thank god you're a country boy.

Keets:

Pete wrote it, but I don't know how these things work. But I do know the AM 
version when I hear it.
For extra points, see how much Venus by The Shocking Blue sounds like a Tommy 
song.

A reference to The Acid Queen scene in the movie Tommy? Or is it the other 
way around?

That does disturb me. In that case, what "other loves" is he turning down 
hoping for his Mum's? And more importantly, do I want to know?

I love Zappa, but he ain't no Pete Townshend.

YEAH! Especially if you're George Lucas making a movie about a galactic 
empire.

AEB:

Go lightly with Athena, my friend. Who knows what song will be discussed 
next? Don't want to use up all the material too fast!
