Can I meet Tony Blair in the meantime? :lol:

Ern 8-) :)
You would actually want to meet Teflon Tony?!! :shock:

Yep, you'd be right - George Harrison: "Let it Down" from All Things Must Pass.
And knowing YOUR love for The Beatles I'm shocked you didn't get it. ;)

Looks like we need a new problem to solve here.

This one should be easy.

People are Crazy
I know the artist is Billy Currington, I posted something about this the other day.
The video was done in Green Turtle Cay, Abaco and they were drinking Kalik Beer :lol:
I love this video. I've seen the writers at the end of the video,
but can't say who they are...I think it's two people.
Ahh! I think I'll have a couple of Kaliks when I get off this afternoon.

Hey Kids! --- You guys are GETTING IT! --- Woah, Nelly! --- Ring the bell! --- Whoopie!

From one of my favorite bands of all time: Here's the lyric!

No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent

Man, that's a toughie! Good luck!

Hey Ern,

I just have to take a stab in the dark at this one but it looks like the kind of thing Dylan would write.

It's got a Don Henley ring to it too.
Don't recognise it but I'll stick a guess in at The Eagles.

Not Dylan or Henley. But, ironically, one of the very few rock groups where the drummer DOES write all the lyrics, even though he doesn't sing! :shock: Strange, but true!

I'm tempted to Google it, but I'm resisting! :D
Any clues Billy?

I know the Moody Blues drummer writes a lot of their lyrics, just a guess
