    Harsh. Very harsh.

    I'm surprised TP didn't respond to young WB by saying something along the lines of 'Don't Do Me Like That' or 'Don't Come Around Here No More'. Or maybe 'You Wreck Me'. Young WB, The Damage You've Done.

    And why didn't parent WB chastise the young-un and tell her 'You're So Bad' and "You're Gonna Get It' Inform her that any more statements of that ilk and she'll be Out In The Cold.

    Is she an American Girl? I Need To Know. Because it's hard to see an American Girl not liking TP. Maybe she's just from a One Story Town. Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt She's a Complex Kid.

    I'm sure as she grows up, she'll have a Change of Heart and learn to appreciate the musical genius of one TP. She'll learn his music is Something Big. She'll Listen to Her Heart and understand that TP's music is the Best of Everything. She'll think to herself, TP--I've Got a Thing About You. Finding Out about TP's music will bring her great joy and happiness and take her to a Higher Place.

    And she'll say to herself, "TP, I'm glad that You and I Will Meet Again. And daddy WB will smile knowingly and say, "Here Comes My Girl."

    As long as her legs don't end up "Into the Great Wide Open," I'm sure WB will be happy. :p

    thanks, folks. To borrow another phrase from the world of rock and roll, just letting the music do the talkin'.
