No no, Paul and HOF could never cover that particular Alejandro songs because it would be too unbearably sad. Why not add in "Last To Know" and just kill me?

Sorry, just thought a sad touring song would fit the bill. And it beats the hell out of "running on empty".

This saturday!

I met a couple of those guys backstage in Mpls on the last night of the Pantages show, nice guys. T hey had a show scheduled in Mpls for that same weekend, which is a weird coincidence. Paul told them he was gonna change the name of the band to His Only Friends and everyone laughed and well then...he did!
