Thanks gang. I couldn't have done it without you. Here is the lead for my Beck piece. Does it look okay?
"If Beck were a horse and I were a betting man then I wager he'd be a Shetland pony with a long luxurious mane. Wait a minute,that doesn't make any sense. Beck has baby-fine hair. The kind of hair that men start to lose in their 30's. Which begs the question:What kind of album would a newly bald Beck make? I'd like to think that it would sound like his recent Sea Change. Forlorn ballads born from the experience of someone who has loved,lost,and seen the capricious fickle elbow of fame turn its bright light on others as he grew older. Songs made by someone who no longer has the weight of expectation heaped upon his bony shoulders. For in the land where Eminem is king,the pony shall be free."

I call bullshit on this! Beck is clearly Yikes the fruitstripe gum horse.

If Beck were a dromedary and I were Lawrence of Arabia, I'd be shit out of luck in the middle of the damn desert with a thoroughly nonsensical pack animal hauling my water here & there as I attempt to unit the Bedouin against the Turks, on the orders of the King no less. Wait a minute, that doesn't make any sense. Beck can't spit frothy goo fifteen feet. The kind of spit that makes Bedouin smell the way they do. Which begs the question: What king of album would a frothy spitting Beck make? I'd like to think that it would sound like his recent Sea Change. Hoary ridiculousness tempered by the kind of production that inspires one to take up ADHD. Songs made by someone who has never graduated high school and who can go without water for weeks at a time. For in the land where Suleiman is sultan, the dromedary shall spit with impunity.

No offense, that was just an exercise.

Tom, I like that. But then I could read about camels forever. Yikes was definitely in the running. But it would have been too easy to mention that fruit stripe gum loses it's flavor in 30 seconds.

Scott, you have miles of style.
