    Good song, but it is set to play automatically when the page loads. It’s generally a bad idea to do that.

    Great song but believe it or not The Counting Crows’ Adam Durst dose a better than orginial cover.

    Have everyone switch to Firefox with NoScript?

    Doesn’t play automatically for me… ;)

    I kinda like the Dwight Yoakam cover, although being strung out on heroin is not really a country theme, I guess. Perhaps substitute “heroin” for “crystal meth” … anyways, good tune.

    Excelent song singer and writer but thet was weird as I was listening to Jethro Tull Thick as a Brick, well guess I’ll go howwel at the moon. Even if I ain’t in London.

    I’ve always loved Warren… pure genius.

    That was pretty weird. It’s one of my favorite songs ever. I almost had a spasm; it seemed so… personal.

    Saw him live back in ’97, that was an incredible show – we bought the tickets at the door and had front row seats.

    Amazing and gracious showman.

    Holy crap that’s annoying that it starts playing immediately.

    Maybe you could stick it behind a link to this particular entry?
