I didn't see Eric and Buck's comments and wasn't trying to beat them
to it (wouldn't be hard now would it? as they tend to procrastinate)
but yes, I thought it ironic that they picked that title and wanted
folks to hear the song of the same name live.

Not hard - driving rhythm guitar (a la John) simple smashing drums (a
la Ringo) and some melodic motion in the bass (a la Paul) lay in a
country style lead break (a la George) and you have it, perfection!
Now if I could only get George and John to play at the same time. ;-)
