Well, that's the point isn't it? Love makes men into saps. I've never seen it 
better put.

I don't agree. I think it could have been real and she turned. It happens, I 
know because it happened to me. Out of the blue, one day she's completely in 
love and you're Mister Wonderful till the stars fall from the skies, then the 
next it's Goodbye Charlie and nothing you can say or do can change it. It's 
confusing, it's frustrating, and you can't really deal with it 
rationally...because there's nothing rational about it. Thus the helpless 
feeling as discussed in Sunrise!

That's easy as an intellectual exercise, and most men realize it but their 
emotional state won't allow them to act accordingly. It's not like they don't 
WANT to!

How could anyone with intelligence be otherwise? Oh, we need cars more than 
we need trees. Methane as a fuel source? NONSENSE! And fuck all those whales, 
huh?

Being honest I must say I was never a hippie. We called ourselves Freeks at 
the time, but once Punk came around I knew where my heart really was.
The Sex Pistols changed my life...

Keets:

A fine theory, but let me just clue you in here: most men don't get turned on 
by a woman who needs someone to help take care of their kid.>

Scott:

No it doesn't! No harmony, which is what EVERY Association song was based on! 
If I had to pick one, the song it most resembles is Tangerine by Zeppelin 
(which came three years later).
And what about all those nifty pre-Tommy bits in the solo?

I absolutely cannot imagine Roger singing it.

You're not supposed to have sex with it! Sex with it on the stereo, maybe...

New song coming later today. And as a side note: I bought the Creedence boxed 
set yesterday and for any fan, it's a definite must. A bit pricey but MAN it 
sounds great!
