Friend One:Do you think David Cameron PM stands for David Cameron Pokemon Master?

Friend Two: I like to pretend it does.
Massive decifit is blocking your path.

is a good album, on the whole. Get Your Wings also has its moments and I've not heard the first. Similarly, I share your views on the two competing versions of Walk this Way.

My friend is going to see them in concert next week - apparently the ticket cost him about £80 - and he asked me if I wanted to join him. If they were going to only play the early stuff and the ticket was a quarter of the price, maybe I'd consider it, but you know that the crowd will have mostly come to hear Love in an Elevator and other such turgid stadium rock gurnings.
