I liked mine, "Freebird!".

Obviously, I was alone in my opinion.

[Bill]

Steve-O; Actually, "Freebird!" isn't that bad, but "What song is it you wanna hear?" might have been better. But hey, it's all good.

[bill]

Mine was "Don't give me your tired, you poor, your huddled masses..."
if suzanne & co likes it, then i'm happy

[Pat Travell]
