never heard that one.
The most IRONIC song I EVER HEARD IS: LEAVING ON A JET PLANE, by JOHN DENVER. That song is in fact so ironic, but I feel sorry for Denver, he composed some great tunes, and he is also an example for the most of us, in our process to improve our skill to play guitar.

Maybe we (you) can leave it maybe a short while, and after a few days we put them all together in 1 big topic.
I want you still to know that all the stuff I write IS TRUE and can be checked, on wikipedia or other sites. I am just continuing

Go see a concert: "the rolling stones", yes THE STONES. Or watch it on dvd.
Although they are playing for centuries, it takes at least 15 minutes before they don't play together in an harmonious way. When they start with "start me up" Jagger will always sing start me up to soon, to late and or false. And KEITH "RIFF" RICHARDS is not longer the super guitar player, since he felt down from that tree in 2006. Still, (I love the music) I have an admiration for those guys. Who among all the chordians has not a relative around 63 years old, sitting the whole day in a chair: it is amazing the way JAGGER still jumps and is running on stage. I am convinced that every gig he is producing so much adrenalin to do this. I know, from standing on stage behind the curtains in front of a crowd like 100.000 people, that I get as non player the same adrenalin shot (probably not that strong) and I admit that seeing and feeling it, seeing so many people in "fire" for their idols, it affects you entirely, even so strong that you start dreaming and thinking: I wish it was all for me.
I just tasted it several times, and I swear the feeling you experience is impossible to write it down in a correct way.
