    Lyrics, 97's Deflowering & Favorite Tunes (just joining & catching up)

    Buzz from Pittsburgh here (and yes, I'll be at the show tonight). Does anyone have the lyrics to "Garage Sale"? It's not that I need the whole song's lyrics, just the part where they sing "I'm not sellin' anything to you, no high pressure ______________. I'm not sellin' anything to you, or your friends...." Help, please!

    My Old 97's deflowering came in Y2K. My boss at a new job in Pittsburgh gave Too Far To Care to me, simply saying "give this a listen- I think you might like it" (this was based on some guitar-playing talk we had over the 2 weeks I was there at that time). The CD went into the player in my car the Friday before Memorial Day (looking back, this would've been May 27, 2000). I was physically unable to remove that CD from my player until around Labor Day that year. Luckily, my boss didn't badger me to get the CD back until I finally bought my own copy....

    For BIOG, I'm being drawn to 'This Beautiful Thing', similarly to how 'Can't Get A Line' made me hit "repeat" until I listened to that track 14 times before letting the CD play on.....Something about Murry's tunes...

    Welcome aboard, Buzz.  I have just tried to "deflower" my friend's husband.... gave him BIOG (have a spare copy - long story), and said "Here, give this a listen".  Haven't seen him since, but I hope I've made a new convert....

    My Old 97's deflowering... around "Fight Songs" or so... Rhett and Murry played "Nineteen" on Craig Kilborn. I was writing songs and playing music with a good friend of mine at the time, and I remember thinking "Holy crap. This is what we're trying to get to... only these guys are doing it way better!" I went out and bought "Fight Songs" the next day, and subsequently the rest of the back catalog.
