Jackson Browne?  It was an Eagles hit, and it sounds like a good deal of
Glen Frey's repertoire.  Did JB write it?  Has he ever recorded it?  If so,
where?

And what the hell is Elton Jonhn saying in the chorus of ROCKET MAN?   It
sounds like "Rocket Man--burning out his speedos in the sun."

dgg--who's still grateful to Weird Al for that lucid cover of "Smells Like
Teen Spirit"
