***Now... Most of my loyal readers know of my love for Dave Matthews (Truth be told, he's got a little crush on me - he sends me flowers a lot.), but why, oh why do they have to play this damn song at every damn concert? Don't get me wrong, I like the song - particularly Jimi's version of it, but it just wasn't meant for the fiddle-horn-wackiness that is DMB. There are virtually billions (Billions, Gayle? Yes! Billions!) of versions of the damn thing, and it's on every damn live CD and DVD they have. Will someone, anyone, please talk to him and tell him to stop?

And when you talk to him, tell him to call me.
