Best single lyric of the year.
I knew many people who fit that description, back in the days when I was 18.
Simple and evocative.

Awesome.

And just one reason why I love Kings Of Leon.

I've never been stoned (drunk maybe). But I did start losing hair at 24. Ass-suckery at its finest.

I started losing hair at 17. Ass-suckery at its finest to the tenth power.

Todd, Have you come around to the new one? I think I remember you saying you were dissappointed by it?

I know alot of people were underwhelmed at first but have really come around to it. Myself included.

Still like Y&YM better, but I'm thinking the new one is pretty freaking great.

What's this from? Is it a Smiths reference?

Agreed, get the lyrics. Lots of great stuff there. 'Soft' makes me crack up everytime.

Wish I could.
I'm on a work computer with no way to create an mp3.
And I don't have access to YSI, either.

Anyone?

I'll be 40 next summer and have never lost a hair. My brother Dave's only 11 months older than me and as far as I remember his hair never started ceding, let alone receding. Bald as bald can be, but his metabolism is twice that of mine and he's never had to work out to say thin like I have to.

me : luxuriant hair, constantly fighting fatassery

him: redneck Mitch Pileggi
