Speaking of lifting: Is anyone subjected to corporate rock "alterative"
radio (or maybe some people even like band)
? Every day at work I hear this song, the verses have an acoustic
guitar riff much like "Down Through The Night" w/a girl singing over it (the
pre-chorus says something like "I'm hungry, I'm dirty..."). Anyway, it's
probably just a coincidence, but I always wonder...
