What, Joni has Mike's favourite guitar??
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll spend thousands on fishing equipment he'll use for a bit, then get bored and move onto something else.

Yeah, she stole half his music gear. But he had so much of it he could not even remember the details for the insurance claim form. He did not know what he had 'till it's gone.

When I worked at Penn State, we found out one morning (when the bulldozers arrived) that our staff parking lot was to be converted into an IT building. It does not make such a great lyric, but it is comforting to know that even parking lots don't last forever.

Can someone please stage an intervention.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
