A perfect song? What are your choices?
@mitchagain - That's Alan Parker, not Alan Holdsworth....   
Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
Roger Waters' 'Amused to Death' is an obscure album? It was a legitimate release by Roger Waters, an artist who is pretty far from obscure, and sold very well.... In fact, I think it sold better than either 'Pros and Cons of Hitchiking' or 'Radio...

@tylermunns - from what I understand, Merle actually wrote that song as satire, but it was taken at face value, as too often happens with satire....  Cause like most musicians, Merle was smoking plenty of marijuana, whether in Muskogee or anyplace...

@moonwatcher - It’s like Frank Zappa said of these political types of music artists, "Shut up and play yer guitar". WOW, you sure don't get FZ at all, do you????

@allenf1963 - I see what you mean, Allen - thanks for bringing that to my attention; I'll talk to my web people about that. Meanwhile, you should be able to see them on Etsy - just remember that it's case-sensitive, and it's MyPixRock. Thanks!
