Funny Memory

  In the coffee shop this morning they were playing Eddie Money's Two Tickets to Paradise.

  I love this song, but haven't heard it in a while and it brought back the funniest memory.

  When the song came out when I was a kid, I remember my mother laughing at it and saying, "If only Eddie Money knew that we really have two tickets to paradise," (namely the Watchtower and Awake). Hee Hee. Actually it's kind of pitiful that I can't even listen to an Eddie Money song without some bizarre dub flashback!

  Dobby,

  Ouch, 30 lashes with a wet noodle! How could you sully the good name and music of the "Money Man" by using the name of those two "rags" in the same sentence!

  It is a great song isn't it?

  What's really funny is that your mom could compare a song that's talking about sex with the WT rags... I'd have thought she would consider that disrespectful or something - although it's a good laugh now!
