Quote by: UncleSamwich Oh yeah- one other thing Quote by: themasses I have found this discussion of Eric's merit an entertaining diversion from my pursuit of musical godhood. It must be a very entertaining diversion to keep me away from my pursuit of musical godhood. I mean musical godhood is that important to me. Oh but enough about me. I heard Eric's music in the grocery store today and must say that he has never sounded better. One more thing about me. I was unable to acquire all the items that I needed at the grocery store and was forced to go to another to find the remainder. I can't remember what music was playing there though. Everytime I hear Peaches and Deisel, I think of produce....does that mean we've had a similar experience?

No, but I have eaten a mango to "Lay down Sally".

Wouldn't that be fun? Going to a Clapton concert and shouting "Play Grocery Store! Play Grocery Store!".

I don't know how this could have happened. It wasn't supposed to end this
way. We had the best of intentions and a heart felt desire to to take this
thread where no macjammer had ever gone before... where angels feared
to tread.

The thread is dead. Long live Eric.

I have tried to live my life according the the lyrics of the Bob Dyan songbook...
how did everything go so wrong??

R.I.P. EC Thread. We will miss you so.

Now off to vacation in the sun for a while while I try to remember "the good things".

Oh sorry
Now I remember.
It wasn't a mango.
It was a papaya.
And the song wasn't (what a strange word "wasn't") "Lay down Sally", it was "Layla".
Man that papaya was sweet.
And I'm not just saying this so we can reach 200.
