I remember thinking the same thing.kittyempirenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705089269270410469.post-39146602056816245142009-10-04T14:47:14.188-05:002009-10-04T14:47:14.188-05:00dude...worry not. its a great album.dude...worry not. its a great album.nickabe57https://www.blogger.com/profile/06271800566232580997noreply@blogger.com
