Subject: Interesting observation....

Hey guys!
I don't know if this has been covered before or if Ben has commented on it
or whatever.. but I made an interesting observation... Has anyone ever
picked up on the fact that in Fear of Pop, when Ben screams "Rubber SLED!"
it sounds a hell of a lot like he's yelling, "Robert SLEDGE!"? Seriously...
listen to it again and you'll hear exactly what I mean. My guess is this is
an unconscious attempt to pay tribute to his basist.. or maybe just simply
to make fun of the boppers that scream his name at some of the concerts? I
dunno.... pretty creepy though. See you guys (some of you!) at upcoming
shows in the northeast! Wahoooo!
Lata.
Rachel

I just downloaded the MP3 of Michael Bluejay playing the piano for best 
imitation of myself, one word...amazing...Mr. Bluejay is unbelievable on the 
piano, I see next to know difference to this version and when Ben plays.  
Awesome job Mr. Bluejay, it will be put on a CD then to my car cause I love 
this version, its my favorite version of that song so far!!!
