I suspect I'd give more than a 75 if you filled this out a bit. Still good though.

Cudos for the Howlin' Wolf. Brian didn't go crazy. As Tommy Lasorda once said "He doesn't have a drug problem, he has a PURCHASING problem." About a different guy, same result. Then again, if you're dad was Murry Wilson, you might have swam out the deep end too.
