I don't know...and if I did, I couldn't tell you.  It's private. :-).

But in the spirit of the Beatles tribute, here's another clue for you all:
the walrus was Paul...and there are rumors that yet another member of the
John Entwistle Band will be joining the Abbey Road tribute show.

Now a non-Who query, for you music monsters (Bruce?)...I've been trying to
identify the music under two commercials lately:

1) one that's running now for the Misubishi Montego Sport:  a relatively
recent song, I suspect, in a major key, fairly simple chords but big rock
sound, with backup voices coming in on the second verse.  The 20-somethings
driving the Sport are singing the lyrics along to the song.

2) One for Volkswagen (maybe the Passat, can't remember) that ran a few
months ago, but I haven't seen it lately.  Four teenagers are riding along
a country road on a moonlit night, pull up to a raucous party, look at each
other and put it reverse, and go back to driving on the country road.  The
music is a beautiful ballad, solo male voice with an acoustic guitar.
Bonus points if you can tell me the name of the singer, or rather the
singer from the '70s or thereabouts that the guy sounds like.  I can't
quite place it.

Thanks,

Alan
