Originally Posted By Bobwelbaum I think you're right, Dug. I've never thought to ask X about how he wrote his songs, but this was too coincidental, and it makes perfect sense. This entry did have some of the other words from the lyrics, but no other direct lines. As to why I was reading this entry in the first place, um... so isn't it nice the weather is warming up?
