At least I was in the ballpark here (as I hopelessly wrack my brain trying
to figure out what GAOL and ILTN are, all the while knowing that when I
figure it out I'll feel like a doofus..). Sheesh, I saw you guys enough

Artistic liscence? I used to piss off the guitarist in one of my bands
regularly because I'd change or leave out parts of his lyrics because, for
