I need the Annotated Guide to 'The Underdog' Video, or something like that, to identify all the cameos.

"Black Like Me" is such a better song off this album.

I guess I'll just make do with the CDs, which are catchy.

That's a damn good album. Not their best, bu damn fine.

...wait, you're telling me that was a woman...ohhhhh
