Quote of the day

“ Seems I've got to have a change of scene 'Cause every night I have the strangest dreams. Imprisoned by the way it could have been, Left here on my own or so it seems. I've got to leave before I start to scream, But someone's locked the door and took the key. You feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself. Well, you feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself. ” —Dave Mason
