Sorry, I had to
Well, gotta burn this account to the ground! I'ma see you all under a new moniker!
Incidentally, other than Jet Airliner, which was a cover, I have noticed that none of the Steve Miller Band's songs make a lick of sense.
Apparently all Steve Millers suck lol
You don't have to like his music, but Steve Miller of the Steve Miller Band is one of the realest dudes in the music industry.
Yeah, and also his music is awesome. It makes no sense (like I said) but it's awesome.
My manager when I worked at the sweet factory at the mall when I was a teenager, would play that fucking album over and over and over and over and over. I can’t listen to that shit ever again. On the plus side, he let me take as much candy as I liked anytime which in hindsight was probably not very good for me, but at least back then I could metabolize fucking anything.
That's good to hear, but I definitely don't like his music.
