Popularity rank 16 #33. A unified sound

August 2, 2005

TRUDY: Hey, you played great up there. Did you write all the guitar solos.
DAN: Oh, heh, thanks, no, I used to. But not anymore.

DAN: John said it would be a more unified sound if he wrote all the parts. He also said my solos "lack urgency."

TRUDY: Jesus... sounds like a real pretentious dick.
JOHN: Who sounds like a pretentious dick?
DAN: You do, man.

JOHN: Yeah, well, so did Lennon. You wanna give a hand with these amps?
DAN: Hey, I gotta go....
