That was pretty funny, Tony. I have never actually seen the Pink Panther movies, something else to put on my list. I used to watch a lot of Britcom at one time, not so much in recent years.

Hi B4Real, I actually ended up downloading The Cardinal at this time. I am going on a road trip towards the end of the month and thought the driving beat and sound of The Cardinal would be more in sync with the tires hitting the asphalt :) Plus it has The Anthem as a bonus track.

There's kind of two Blazes, A lot of people saw one or the other. There was the wild one...and then there was the gentle, loving, caring one. I came to know both. He was a friend of the homeless, poor, elder, a real super caring guy. And he would sometimes seem bitter, you know. The only reason for...
