"...I'm gonna bring him into federal court. And I don't want some third-rate rent-a-thug who couldn't cut it as a cop in Chicago bringing him back to LA..." That's the line that gave it away. This is from a classic movie from the 1940s: "Oh, he's just like any other man, only more so."

Midnight Run?

Oh, never mind. This is the song. Turn it up as loud as you possibly can, get your air guitar ready, and enjoy. This is what I call "asbestos suit" rock. BTW, I nailed the vocals to this song (studio version) while playing "Rock Band" with the kids. :B)

I know I've heard that song but the title escapes me.

Nobody gonna take my car I'm gonna race it to the ground

Is it by T. Rex or Todd Rundgren?

Sweet. There's a lot to be said just for that.

I used to self-servingly half-joke back when I was in my twenties (and a pack-a-day smoker) that if they would only outlaw tobacco it would help me to quit. I don't smoke anymore but I think smokers are getting picked on. When half the price of a pack of cigarettes is tax, there's something wrong with that picture. Personally I think people should be able to legally eat, drink, smoke (in designated areas), snort, shoot and/or otherwise consume any substance they choose to without restriction, except perhaps for age. We all do anyway.

Billy Lee Riley?

Laura Nyro is right.

Who wrote "Wedding Bell Blues" by the Fifth Dimension (1969)?

John Cale?

Carole King and Gerry Goffin is correct.

"Will You Love Me Tomorrow" (Shirelles, et al.) Who wrote it? (I'll accept either one of the two songwriters as correct.)

You all must listen to . I'm sure some of you will recognize it.The chorus and guitar solo are the best parts of the song. And turn it up as loud as you can -- it's a rocker. (Aqualung, 1971)

Willie Nelson, I think.

This is kind of ridiculous but this is the album. What's the song?

Yeah, really. Not a lot of _____ ____ fans here. Okay, final verse: I saw him in the city And on the mountains of the moon His cross was rather bloody He could hardly roll His stone Oh Jesus save me! Chorus

Hey, that's great, Twinky! Good luck in your new job.

I'm clueless

Nope. This is a tough one so I'm giving it away. The answer is Issac Hayes & David Porter. Free post!

Tumbling Dice, but the lyrics may be a little off. Oh father high in heaven Smile down upon your son Whose busy with his money games His women and his gun Oh Jesus save me! And the unsung Western hero He killed an Indian or three And then he made his name in Hollywood To set the white man free Oh Jesus save me! (Chorus): If Jesus saves -- well, He'd better save Himself From the gory glory seekers who use His name in death

I'm probably being a little silly here (this is much more than one line): Oh father high in heaven Smile down upon your son Whose busy with his money games His women and his gun Oh Jesus save me! And the unsung Western hero He killed an Indian or three And then he made his name in Hollywood To set the white man free Oh Jesus save me! (Chorus)

Latest word is that the Yankees offered Jeter $45 million over three years, and basically told him to shop around and see if he could do better. Somebody'll probably turn around and say it's an insult to offer him $15 million a year and say take it or leave it.

Walt Whitman lived in Huntington, Long Island. I drive within a mile or so of his house every day.
