Larry (looks at fan and shrugs, smiling pleasantly toward the camera): "Well, Matt, we all have our problems."

Eppu Normaali??!! Holy cow! That is so funny! You're from the Netherlands, correct me if I'm wrong? I'm half Finnish, used to go to Finland every year, and a friend of my brother's made him a tape which had a song by that guy (or is it a band??) Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the song, or if it was the one you mentioned. Do you know what the name of that song means? My Finnish sucks.

As for my five favourites, that's really hard. They change a lot. But here's five good ones:

Sting: I hate picking one song by Sting...I'll say Fields of Gold this time.
Neil Finn: Into the Sunset
Depeche Mode: Dream On
Jeff Buckley: Dream Brother
Radiohead: Street Spirit

Like I say, these change a lot. There would normally be something by Led Zeppelin but honestly I'm not listening to them a lot right now. There could also be something by the Police, for sure.
