When time itself is so obscene
When time itself don’t mean a thingI’m still loving you

usually would say that you are being to hard on the guy, but not this time. Michael Bolton is a hack. By the way not only is he a no talent clown, but he is a thief as well. Isley Brothers sued for copyright infringement and won a settlement of 5.4 Million dollars.
Pjazzy: Around the time it happened and recently too, me and you discussed Bolton's thievery of an Isley Bros. song. The real slap in the face was how he and his lawyer wanted to appease the Isley's by "allowing" them to record a song with him. How could the Isley's turn down the chance to record a song with Bolton the Great?! With the greatest of ease, that's how.
By the way, the "no talent ass clown" comment is a reference to the movie "Office Space". Since you haven't seen it yet, I won't say anymore about it. I don't know if it still does, but it used to air on Comedy Central quite a bit.

PS I'd like to point out that I actually knew one that Malcolm and PJ didn't know! Led Zeppelin forever, man! Peace out.
barb,
rock 'n roll brilliance, babe! you knew Ides of March...give yourself a dairy queen hot fudge sundae today (and i will too).
pjazz,
ironic that everyone's favorite ass clown help Dylan write "Steel Bars." you deserve kudos for getting this one right; it was probably the most difficult.
on question 7, the five songs i listed are Nyro penned hits. ya'll had different songs as well - she may have written them as well...I was just going with the ones I definitely knew.
malc,
good job as usual.
best to you,
Editor
Thanks Editor,
Yes Michael Bolton and Dylan actually goes way behind ironic. I can't imagine him being in the same room with Dylan, much less collaborating.
