 Actually, the father of my friend down the street was a private investigator and did some work for ZZ Top.  This was in the early 80s during their popularity peak.  It was pretty cool when I was 12.

One that eluded me.
 
 We also have:
 
 Ric Ocasek
 Greg Kihn
 Will Oldham (aka Bonny Prince Billy)
 
 There was also someone from The Commodores but I don't know who. Never bothered with them. I just know that a good friend of mine works with someone (or used to) who was married to one of them. Don't know how he ended up here or for how long.

Not Woodbridge, Springfield.  North Springfield to be exact. Currently weathering the after-effects of something called a "microburst".
 Looks like a bomb went off.  A bomb made of branches and twigs and leafs of all varieties.

I used to know some guys who rented her old house.  Every time I was there I always thought about that terrible movie she did with Michael J. Fox.

I'm just around the corner from the Light of Day.
 
 Yeah-Uh.

Has anyone heard Joan's new CD?  Any thoughts on it?
