Basically what this means is, I got a job for the summer. And a real good one for that matter.

How do you like dem apples?

Peace and Rock On


Also, do any of you guys know the name of the Sheryl Crow song that's heard on the trailers for CARS? I've been trying to find it and it's driving me nuts.

Shiny on the job...
Lemme tune up the ol' guitar and give you a rendition of Lightfoot's Canadian Railroad trilogy...
"There was a time in this great land
when the railroad did not run..."

Mmm, working on a railway in the summer. Good times (been there, done that, one of the hottest places to work in the summer ;)

As for Cars, the only listings I see for the trailer are:

"Westbound Sign" - Green Day
A Bug's Life (1998) - Randy Newman

I am your answer to everything Sheryl Crow... can you give me a lyric at least? (I'm Aussie, we don't get the same trailers as you).
